Weekend America

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Weekend America is a weekly public radio program dealing with news, popular culture, the arts and more. The program is co-hosted by Bill Radke and produced in Los Angeles for American Public Media. It was formerly co-hosted by Barbara Bogaev until December 9, 2006.

The show is divided into two hours, which are further subdivided into five segments per hour. WA is designed to be run untouched; with local cutaways at predetermined points; with long local segments in place of one of the five national segments; or as one or two national segments spliced into a locally-produced show. Many public radio stations run the show untouched.

It was launched on Saturday, May 1, 2004, as a pilot program aired by the show's developmental stations, then known as Public Radio Weekend. The show went national under the Weekend America branding on Saturday, October 9, 2004. The theme music is Crazyhorse Mongoose by Galactic.
