News in Depth

“For Thoughtful People Like You”

Morning Drive Anchor Geralyn Smith

Our News is unique for its look in depth at the day’s events. We don’t just give you headlines without the full picture; our news helps fulfil public broadcasting’s mission to educate the public on matters of public policy.

Our news programming is anchored by the BBC World Service overnights from 1 a.m. ’til 6. Then it’s The World from Public Radio International, then more from the BBC with The Newsroom, Business Daily and NewsHour.

Evening Drive Anchor JD Hershberger

We like to say that “for thousands of Kansans each day, Radio Kansas means business,” because in addition to Marketplace Tech and the Marketplace Morning Report each morning. In addition to Business Daily at 7:30 a.m., there’s World Business Report at 5:30 p.m. We give you a broad update with another broadcast of The World at 6.

Weekends are a time to reach out – personally, socially and emotionally. Our weekend offerings allow you to empathize with people all over the world – and you may just learn something on Science Saturday with Living Planet, Unusual Elements, Living on Earth and Tech Nation. There’s even a radio version of Travel with Rick Steves at 6 p.m!
