On May 03, 1971, All Things Considered debuted on 90 public radio stations. It's now the most listened-to, afternoon drive-time, news radio program in the country. In 1977, ATC expanded to seven days a week with a one-hour show on Saturdays and Sundays.
Every weekday, the two-hour show consists of the biggest stories of the day, thoughtful commentaries, insightful features on the quirky and the mainstream in arts and life, music and entertainment— all brought alive through sound. Essentially, ATC is a comprehensive look at the day's important stories with different perspectives considered.
