''All Things Considered'' (''ATC'') is the flagship news program on the American network National Public Radio (NPR). It was the first news program on NPR, premiering on May 3, 1971. It is broadcast live on NPR affiliated stations in the United States, and worldwide through several different outlets.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NPR Worldwide )〕 ''All Things Considered'' and ''Morning Edition'' were the highest rated public radio programs in the United States in 2002 and 2005. The show combines news, analysis, commentary, interviews, and special features, and its segments vary in length and style. ATC airs weekdays from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. A weekend version of ''ATC'', ''Weekends On All Things Considered'', airs on Saturdays and Sundays. ==Background== ''ATC'' programming combines news, analysis, commentary, interviews, and special features broadcast live daily from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time (20:00 to 22:00 UTC), and is re-fed with updates until 10 p.m. ET (02:00 UTC). Broadcasts run about 105 minutes with local content interspersed in between to complete two hours. In 2005, ''ATC'' aired on over 560 radio stations and reached an audience of approximately 12 million listeners each weekday, making it the third most listened to radio program in the United States after ''The Rush Limbaugh Show'' and ''Morning Edition''.〔 In September 2010, ''All Things Considered'' had an average quarter-hour audience of 1.8 million. ''ATC'' is co-hosted by Robert Siegel, Audie Cornish and Melissa Block. The first broadcast of ''ATC'' was fed to about 90 radio stations on May 3, 1971, with host Robert Conley. During the first week, these stations were not allowed to broadcast the feed "live" but could record it for later broadcast. The first story was about the march on Washington, D.C. and the growing anti-Vietnam War protests taking place there.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.npr.org/programs/atc/atc30/timeline/1971.html )〕 NPR chose to place its inaugural daily newscast at the afternoon commute timeslot instead of the morning, because many of its affiliates at that time did not sign on for the day until mid-morning or afterward. It was not until 1979, by which time most affiliates had expanded their broadcast days to begin at 6 a.m. or earlier, that NPR premiered ''Morning Edition''. ''Weekends On All Things Considered'' (''WATC'') is a one-hour version of the show that premiered in 1977, with host Robert Conley, and is broadcast on Saturdays and Sundays. Guy Raz was the host of this program, until he left to be the host of the TED Radio Hour. On February 13, 2013, NPR announced that it was relocating production of ''WATC'' to NPR West. ''ATC'' was excluded from the NPR deal with Sirius Satellite Radio so as not to compete with local stations airing the show. To coordinate the choice of interview partners in cultural coverage between ''ATC'' and other NPR shows (as of 2010: ''Morning Edition'', the weekend editions, ''Talk of the Nation'', and ''Tell Me More''), NPR set up a "dibs list" system around 2005, whereby the first show to declare interest in a particular guest can "reserve" that person.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All Things Considered」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
