All Things Considered
Weekdays from 4pm to 6pm on Radio IQ
Much has changed on All Things Considered since the program debuted on May 3, 1971. But there is one thing that remains the same: each 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.
All Things Considered is the most listened-to, afternoon drive-time news radio program in the country.
All Things Considered airs Monday - Friday from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm on RADIO IQ. On the weekends, ATC is on 5:00-6:00 pm on RADIO IQ.
