NAB Hall Of Fame Rocks, All Things Considered.
• All Things Considered (ATC), the flagship news program of NPR, which this year celebrates its 50th birthday, will be inducted into the NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame during the 2021 NAB Show, which returns to Las Vegas on October 9-13. ATC Executive producer Cara Tallo and host Ailsa Chang will accept the award at the NAB Show Welcome event on Monday, October 11 at 9am PT.
ATC made its debut broadcast on May 3, 1971, airing on 90 public radio stations. Now broadcasting live every weekday for two hours and for one hour every Saturday and Sunday, ATC is the most listened-to, afternoon drivetime news radio program in the country. Hosted by Chang, Audie Cornish, Mary Louise Kelly and Ari Shapiro, and on weekends by Michel Martin, ATC airs coverage of the most important news of the day, reports from NPR correspondents in the U.S. and around the world, thoughtful commentaries, interviews with newsmakers and features on arts, music and entertainment.
“For a half a century, All Things Considered has engaged, educated and entertained countless listeners about the news and culture affecting our lives, while serving as a showcase for the importance of public radio,” said NAB President & CEO Gordon Smith. “It’s a fitting tribute that we induct this landmark program of radio history into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame as it celebrates its 50th year on the air.”
