Two Launches Next Tuesday, 9/5!

We’re thrilled to introduce two new offerings next Tuesday! Engage and inform your audience with global economic news, and the technology that’s rewiring our daily lives.

Marketplace Morning Report from BBC World Service
Each weekday at 5:51 a.m. ET, the first feed of Marketplace Morning Report will be broadcast from BBC’s London studios by Anu Anand, with up-to-the-minute global economic news for U.S. audiences. This new first feed combines the BBC’s reach and Marketplace’s tone and style, with fresh content that expands the scope and insight of pressing global business news and trends.

Beginning at 6:51 a.m. ET, Marketplace Morning Report host David Brancaccio will continue to present five, hourly live feeds from New York, with the latest on markets, money, jobs and innovation.

Marketplace Tech Relaunch
The new Marketplace Tech – hosted by veteran tech reporter Molly Wood – will break ideas, rather than just news, by uncovering themes that transcend the hype in an ever-changing industry.

Based in the Bay Area, Molly asks the smart questions that connect the dots, and offers context for listeners on the impact of tech, business and the digital world in their daily experiences.

The revamped, four-minute daily broadcast offers an extended air window, from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. ET, and makes a perfect complement to your news programming.

Watch a message from Molly.

New Marketplace Series Explores “Robot-Proof Jobs”

From April 3-21, Marketplace Morning Report‘s David Brancaccio presents a series, “Robot-Proof Jobs,” with reporting from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin on Marketplace Morning Report and Marketplace.

In 2012, Brancaccio traversed the U.S. without a single human business transaction for the series, “Robots Ate My Job.” This week, David will catch up with the original series and speak with experts and those who lost their jobs. Next week, he’ll present recent field reporting on the jobs and industries most resistant to automation. He’ll share a glimpse of the economy of the future in the final week, April 17-21.

David Brancaccio is available to discuss the series the week of April 10. Please contact your Station Representative to schedule an interview.
