''Morning Edition'' is an American radio news program produced and distributed by NPR (formerly National Public Radio). It airs weekday mornings (Monday through Friday) and runs for two hours, and many stations repeat one or both hours. The show feeds live from 05:00 to 09:00 ET, with feeds and updates as required until noon. The show premiered on November 5, 1979; its weekend counterpart is ''Weekend Edition''. ''Morning Edition'' and ''All Things Considered'' are the highest rated public radio shows. ==Background== A typical show includes news, both newscasts and in-depth reports; features on science, arts, business, sports, and politics; interviews with and profiles of people in the news; commentaries; and human interest features. Some regional public radio networks (such as Minnesota Public Radio) and local stations also produce locally focused content under their ''Morning Edition'' banner. Bob Edwards, previously a co-host of ''All Things Considered'', hosted ''Morning Edition'' beginning with its first episode, a job he initially took on a temporary basis when a shake-up in production and on-air staff occurred ten days before the show's premiere. Edwards was joined by Barbara Hoctor, then of ''Weekend All Things Considered''. Hoctor departed after four months, leaving Edwards as solo host for the next quarter-century. His last day as host was April 30, 2004; this was not due to Edwards retiring, but rather a highly controversial decision from NPR to lay him off, which resulted in harsh criticism from many listeners. Since May 3, 2004, the show has been co-hosted by Steve Inskeep and Renée Montagne. Inskeep reports from NPR headquarters in Washington, D.C. and Montagne reports from the studios of NPR West in Culver City, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. Arbitron ratings show that over twelve million people listen to ''Morning Edition'' weekly. It's the second most-listened-to national radio show, after ''The Rush Limbaugh Show'',〔 though some sources, among them ''Talkers Magazine'', sometimes place the show third in audience rankings behind ''Limbaugh'' and ''The Sean Hannity Show'', depending on the time (as of 2015, Hannity has fallen behind ''Morning Edition'' in the ''Talkers'' estimate).〔"The Top Talk Radio Audiences".
