Day to Day is a one-hour weekday American radio newsmagazine distributed by National Public Radio (NPR), and produced by NPR in collaboration with Slate. It premiered on Monday, July 28, 2003, and feeds to stations at 12 noon Eastern Time with updates until 4 pm Eastern. It is designed to be aired during the middle of the day, although some stations on the West Coast use it as an extension to Morning Edition
NPR created Day to Day to extend NPR news coverage to a midday audience, continuing the tradition of fellow NPR newsmagazines All Things Considered and Morning Edition. Regularly covered topics include news, entertainment, politics and the arts. Contributors include familiar NPR personalities, reporters from NPR member stations, and writers for Slate. One unusual aspect of the show is a story and embedded promotion from a reporter from Marketplace, a show produced by NPR competitor American Public Media.
Unlike ATC and Morning Edition, which are produced at NPR's national headquarters in Washington, D.C., Day to Day is produced at NPR West in Culver City, California, a Los Angeles suburb.
Day to Day is usually hosted by either longtime NPR host and correspondent Alex Chadwick or NPR news host Madeleine Brand.
