WAMU Debuts The New Yorker Radio Hour Amid a Reimagined Schedule

One of many changes for the public radio station.

When The New Yorker Radio Hour debuted on WAMU this past Sunday, it was part of a re-imagined block of programming that WAMU general manager J.J. Yore crystallizes into a one-word descriptor: cosmopolitan.

The program–a joint creation of WNYC’s new podcast studio and The New Yorker magazine–sits within a block of new programming that Yore believes will sustain audience interest across the hours: Freakonomics Radio at 1 p.m. ET, Studio 360 at 2 p.m. ET, The New Yorker Radio Hour at 3 p.m.
