<p><i><b>Weekend Edition</b></i> is a set of American <a href="Radio" title="Radio">radio</a> <a href="News_magazine" title="News magazine">news magazine</a> programs produced and distributed by National Public Radio (<a href="NPR" title="NPR">NPR</a>). It is the weekend counterpart to the NPR radio program <i><a href="Morning_Edition" title="Morning Edition">Morning Edition</a></i>. It consists of <i><b>Weekend Edition Saturday</b></i> and <i><b>Weekend Edition Sunday</b></i>, each of which airs for two hours, from 8:00<span class="nowrap">&nbsp;</span>a.m. to 10:00<span class="nowrap">&nbsp;</span>a.m. Eastern time, with refeeds until 2:00&nbsp;p.m. <i>Weekend Edition Saturday</i> is hosted by <a href="Scott_Simon" title="Scott Simon">Scott Simon</a>. <i>Weekend Edition Sunday</i> is hosted by <a href="Ayesha_Rascoe" title="Ayesha Rascoe">Ayesha Rascoe</a>.
</p><p>The programs feature longer stories than most NPR news magazines, and more arts and culture stories.
</p>
<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc">
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Format">Format</h2></div>
<p>Weekday sibling <i><a href="Morning_Edition" title="Morning Edition">Morning Edition</a></i> breaks up each hour into five segments, none more than twelve minutes long; <i>Weekend Edition</i> uses only three segments per hour, accommodating longer stories than <i>Morning Edition</i> typically accommodates.
</p><p><i>Weekend Edition</i> begins with a sixty-second billboard. Both Simon and Rascoe use the billboard as a general discussion about what's coming up in the hour, infused with soundbites from selected stories. A standard five-minute NPR newscast follows, until six past the hour. A thirty-second <a href="Music_bed" class="mw-redirect" title="Music bed">music bed</a> follows the newscast, allowing local stations an opportunity to promote programming or local news/weather/traffic.
</p><p>Segment A begins at 6:30 past the hour (duration 11:29). The most important news of the day is placed here. Regular features (such as, before his death, <a href="Daniel_Schorr" title="Daniel Schorr">Daniel Schorr</a>'s weekly news wrap-up) appear in this segment. At eighteen minutes past the hour, a two-minute station break starts. The first minute is a music bed solely for use of the member stations. The second minute, from nineteen to twenty past, is a "headlines" segment in which the NPR newscaster on staff that morning recaps the major stories of the hour. Some stations decide to use the entire two minutes for local purposes, taking the opportunity to deliver their own headlines, underwriting or events calendars.
</p><p>At twenty past the hour, segment B begins, running 14:19 in length. NPR offers local stations a cutaway from the national feed at 34:20 past the hour. The cutaway is identified by the host when he or she says, "You're listening to <i>Weekend Edition</i> from NPR News". For stations that opt to stay with the national feed, a short interview or commentary piece is delivered, running 2:59 in length. Another two-minute station break, following the same music bed/headlines format as the first, ensues.
</p><p>Segment C, the longest segment of the hour, starts at 40:00 after the hour and runs for seventeen minutes, forty-nine seconds. <i>Weekend Edition Saturday</i> usually slots musical performances, arts stories or interviews in segment C. <i>Weekend Edition Sunday</i> uses the time for its popular weekly puzzle segment with <a href="Will_Shortz" title="Will Shortz">Will Shortz</a>, the <i><a href="New_York_Times" class="mw-redirect" title="New York Times">New York Times</a></i> crossword puzzle editor, and interviews and light features. At the end of the segment, the host credits theme song composer <a href="B.J._Leiderman" class="mw-redirect" title="B.J. Leiderman">B.J. Leiderman</a> and signs off for the hour. Segment C is followed by a forty-second funding credit announcement, and then ninety seconds of music.
