On July 1, 2013, Here and Now began broadcasting as a two-hour program with a "full rollover" (meaning the show broadcasts from noon to 4 p.m. ET) airing Monday to Friday[2] and generally in the midday hours on its affiliate stations. The show covers U.S. and international news, and provides arts and culture coverage.
Here and Now has three cutaways for newscasts: one from :04:00 to :06:00 past the hour, occupying a portion of the national five-minute newscast from NPR, and two one-minute summaries of national news headlines at 0:18:00 and 0:38:00 past the hour, produced and anchored in-house at WBUR.[2]
Here and Now first began airing in 1998,[1][3][4][5] when it was co-hosted by Tovia Smith[6] and Bruce Gellerman.[7][8] At the time, the show was billed as a local or regional current affairs show, concentrating on newsworthy events throughout the six New England states. The show expanded to include national and international elements, its current format, soon after.
Host Robin Young joined the show in 2000, replacing Smith, and outlasted a series of co-hosts, including founding co-host and executive producer Gellerman. In 2005, WBUR had announced that the show would return to its roots as a local current affairs program, but a national distribution deal with PRI changed that plan.[citation needed][9]
The cancellation of NPR's midday newsmagazine Day to Day in March 2009 left a gap in public radio's programming day. News-heavy stations in some markets opted to pick up Here and Now as the replacement.
Building on that philosophy, on March 29, 2013, NPR and WBUR announced that call-in show Talk of the Nation would cease production and NPR would replace it with a two-hour version of Here and Now.[10][11] The reported reason for the change was a desire of bigger NPR member stations to have a midday magazine-style news show acting as a bridge between network stalwarts Morning Edition and All Things Considered.[12] The expanded version of Here and Now debuted on July 1, 2013, with Jeremy Hobson as a second host.[13]
Tonya Mosley became a co-host in 2019,[14] while Jeremy Hobson left in October 2020.[15][16]Scott Tong joined the show as co-host on August 9, 2021.[17] Mosley stepped down as a host in 2022,[18] while Deepa Fernandes joined the show on October 10, 2022.[19]
The entire program was available as a podcast until September 16, 2022. After that its podcast stream was replaced by a smaller selection of current news stories, roughly 30 minutes per day (1/3 of the entire program), along with some occasional longer in-depth stories, and rebranded "Here & Now Anytime." The complete daily show is still being broadcast on radio and can also be accessed on WBUR's website.
