All Things Considered (ATC), the first news program to air on the United States' National Public Radio network (NPR), first broadcast to about 90 radio stations on May 3, 1971. The first story covered on ATC was the anti-Vietnam-war protests taking place in Washington, D.C., where NPR and ATC are based.
Early broadcasts were 90 minutes long; now they run for 2 hours.
The program combines a varied mix of news, analysis, commentary, interviews, and special features. It airs on weekday evenings from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. EST. NPR member stations in other time zones usually run the program on tape delay.
All Things Considered now airs on over 560 radio stations and reaches an audience of approximately 12 million listeners each weekday. It's co-hosted by Robert Siegel, Michele Norris and Melissa Block.
