Every weekday for over three decades, Morning Edition has taken listeners around the country and the world with two hours of multi-faceted stories and commentaries that inform, challenge and occasionally amuse. Morning Edition is the most listened-to news radio program in the country.

This reporting is supplemented by NPR Member Station reporters across the country as well as independent producers and reporters throughout the public radio system.
