'''''All Things Considered''''' ('''''ATC''''') is the flagship news program on the American network [[National Public Radio]] (NPR). It was the first news program on NPR, premiering on May 3, 1971. It is broadcast live on NPR affiliated stations in the [[United States]], and worldwide through several different outlets, formerly including the NPR [[Berlin, Germany|Berlin]] station in [[Germany]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.npr.org/worldwide |title=NPR Worldwide |website=[[National Public Radio]] |access-date=2007-03-06}}</ref> ''All Things Considered'' and ''[[Morning Edition]]'' were the [[List of most-listened-to radio programs|highest rated public radio programs in the United States]] in 2002 and 2005.<ref name="nytimes.com">{{cite news |first=Samuel G. |last= Freedman |title={{-'}}Listener Supported' and 'NPR': All Things Considered |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/17/books/review/17FREEDMA.html?scp=1&sq=%22all%20things%20considered%22&st=cse |department=Books |type=Book review |quote=National Public Radio alone reaches more than 20 million listeners, and its daily newsmagazine shows, ''All Things Considered'' and ''Morning Edition,'' attract a larger audience than any program except Rush Limbaugh's. |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=17 July 2005}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |title=NPR Programs Attract Record-Breaking Audiences Public Radio Listenership at All-Time High |url=https://www.npr.org/about/press/020319.recordbreak.html|work=[[National Public Radio]] |date=19 March 2002 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081224022041/http://www.npr.org/about/press/020319.recordbreak.html |archive-date=2008-12-24 }}</ref> The show combines news, analysis, commentary, interviews, and special features, and its segments vary in length and style. ''ATC'' airs weekdays from 4:00&nbsp;p.m. to 6:00&nbsp;p.m. Eastern Time (live) or Pacific Time (recorded with some updates; in [[Hawaii]] it airs as a fully recorded program) or from 3:00&nbsp;p.m. to 5:00&nbsp;p.m. Central Time. ''ATC's'' weekend counterpart, [[Weekend Edition|''Weekend Edition'']], airs on Saturdays and Sundays.

==Background==
''ATC'' programming combines news, analysis, commentary, interviews, and special features broadcast live daily from 4:00&nbsp;p.m. to 6:00&nbsp;p.m. Eastern Time (3 to 5 p.m. Central Time) (20:00 to 22:00 UTC), and is re-fed with updates until 10 p.m. ET (9 p.m. CT) or 7 p.m. PT (02:00 UTC). Broadcasts run about 105 minutes with local content interspersed in between to complete two hours. In 2005, ''ATC'' aired on over 560 radio stations and reached an audience of approximately 12 million listeners each weekday, making it the third most listened to radio program in the United States after ''[[The Rush Limbaugh Show]]'' and ''[[Morning Edition]]''.<ref name="nytimes.com"/> In September 2010, ''All Things Considered'' had an [[AQH share|average quarter-hour audience]] of 1.8 million.<ref name=shepard>{{cite web |first=Alicia C. |last=Shepard |date=17 September 2010 |url=https://www.npr.org/blogs/ombudsman/2010/09/15/129883401/harry-shearer-post |title=Harry Shearer and NPR: The Big Uneasy |department=NPR Ombudsman |publisher=[[NPR]]}}</ref> ''ATC'' is co-hosted by rotating cast of regular anchors; current hosts include [[Ari Shapiro]], [[Ailsa Chang]], [[Mary Louise Kelly]],<ref>{{cite news |last1=Petski |first1=Denise |last2=Pedersen |first2=Erik |title='All Things Considered': NPR Taps Mary Louise Kelly as Co-Host; Kelly McEvers Stepping Down |url=https://deadline.com/2017/12/all-things-considered-npr-mary-louise-kelly-co-host-kelly-mcevers-robert-siegel-1202229086/ |access-date=8 January 2018 |work=Deadline |date=18 December 2017}}</ref> and [[Juana Summers]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=GaNun |first=Jacqueline |date=2022-06-08 |title=NPR names Juana Summers co-host of 'All Things Considered' |language=en |publisher=NPR |url=https://www.npr.org/2022/06/08/1103554795/npr-names-juana-summers-co-host-of-all-things-considered |access-date=2022-06-27}}</ref>

The first broadcast of ''ATC'' was fed to about 90 [[radio station]]s on May 3, 1971, with host [[Robert Conley (reporter)|Robert Conley]]. During the first week, these stations were not allowed to broadcast the feed "live" but could record it for later broadcast. The first story was about the march on [[Washington, D.C.]], and the growing anti–[[Vietnam War protests]] taking place there.<ref>{{cite web |title=30th Anniversary Celebration of All Things Considered |url=https://www.npr.org/programs/atc/atc30/timeline/1971.html |publisher=[[National Public Radio]] |date=2001}}</ref> NPR chose to place its inaugural daily newscast at the afternoon commute timeslot instead of the morning because many of its affiliates at that time did not sign on for the day until mid-morning or afterward.<ref>{{cite book |title=Conflicting Communication Interests in America: the case of National Public Radio |first=Tom |last=McCourt |location=Westport, Connecticut |publisher=Praeger |date=1999 |page=45 }}</ref> It was not until 1979, by which time most affiliates had expanded their broadcast days to begin at 6 a.m. or earlier, that NPR premiered ''Morning Edition''.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}}

'''''Weekend All Things Considered''''' (''WATC'') is a one-hour version of the show that premiered in 1974<ref name="npr.org">{{Cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/about-npr/192827079/overview-and-history|title=History|website=NPR.org|date=20 June 2013}}</ref> and is broadcast on Saturdays and Sundays at 5 p.m. ET, currently hosted by [[Scott Detrow]].

''ATC'' was excluded from the NPR deal with [[Sirius Satellite Radio]] so as not to compete with local stations airing the show.<ref>{{cite news |first=Lynette |last=Clemetson |title=All Things Considered, NPR's Growing Clout Alarms Member Stations |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/30/arts/all-things-considered-npr-s-growing-clout-alarms-member-stations.html |quote=NPR has a contract to program two Sirius channels, NPR Talk and NPR Now. But Mr. Klose said there were no plans to add the top-rated news programs to its satellite lineup against station wishes. 'We will respond to the will of the system,' he said. |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=30 August 2004}}</ref>

To coordinate the choice of interview partners in cultural coverage between ''ATC'' and other NPR shows (as of 2010: ''Morning Edition'', the weekend editions, ''[[Talk of the Nation]]'', and ''[[Tell Me More]]''), NPR set up a "[[wikt:dibs|dibs]] list" system around 2005, whereby the first show to declare interest in a particular guest can "reserve" that person.<ref name=shepard/>

On March 23, 2020, ''ATC'' launched '''''The National Conversation''''', a live [[call-in show]] addressing listener questions about the [[COVID-19 pandemic in the United States]]. The program aired from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET on weeknights from the end of March through May 2020.<ref>{{cite news |title=Introducing 'The National Conversation with All Things Considered' |url=https://www.npr.org/2020/03/20/819186570/introducing-the-national-conversation-with-all-things-considered |publisher=NPR.org|date=March 20, 2020 |language=en}}</ref>

Similar to ''Up First'', the podcast complement to the network's ''Morning Edition'' and ''Weekend Edition'', NPR launched ''[[Consider This (podcast)|Consider This]]'' as a podcast companion to ''ATC'' on June 29, 2020,<ref>{{Cite news|last=|last2=|last3=|date=2020-06-29|title='Consider This,' A PM News Podcast With Kelly McEvers & 'All Things Considered' Hosts|language=en|work=NPR|url=https://www.npr.org/about-npr/883858250/consider-this-a-pm-news-podcast-with-kelly-mcevers-all-things-considered-hosts|access-date=2021-10-02}}</ref> with ''ATC'' hosts providing in-depth analysis of a single story each weekday afternoon. National podcast episodes are supplemented in select areas by additional local reporting and analysis from journalists at various NPR member stations, such as Dallas-based [[KERA (FM)|KERA]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Podcast: Consider This|url=https://www.keranews.org/podcast-consider-this|access-date=2021-10-02|website=KERA News|language=en}}</ref> ''Consider This'' is also the successor to NPR's weekday afternoon ''Coronavirus Daily'' podcast,<ref>{{Cite news|last=|last2=|last3=|date=2020-03-18|title=NPR's 'Coronavirus Daily' Podcast Follows How The Pandemic Affects Our Daily Lives|language=en|work=NPR|url=https://www.npr.org/about-npr/817187224/nprs-coronavirus-daily-podcast-follows-how-the-pandemic-affects-our-daily-lives|access-date=2022-02-01}}</ref> which had published throughout the spring of 2020.

==Format==
{{More citations needed section|date=September 2023}}
{{Overly detailed|section|date=June 2023}}
The format is less rigid than that of ''Morning Edition'', with a wider array of type and length of stories. The length of stories tends to be greater than ''Morning Edition'', with some stories lasting for almost 23 minutes. Certain types of personal interest stories are almost always covered within this limit; those relating to hard news or entertainment tend to last the standard three-and-a-half to four minutes.

The program begins with the familiar Don Voegeli theme song<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.npr.org/programs/asc/features/atc_theme/ |title=ATC Theme: The Story |website=[[All Songs Considered]] |access-date=2013-08-10}}</ref> under a one-minute billboard of the stories to be covered during the hour. Then the standard five-minute NPR newscast is delivered from one minute to six minutes past the hour. The newscast offers a cutaway after three minutes (at four minutes past the hour), allowing stations to cover the last 2.5 minutes with evening rush-hour news and traffic reports. For those stations that run the newscast untouched, a 30-second music bed follows instead.

The first, or "A" segment, begins at :06:30 after the hour. It features important news stories, although not necessarily the most important news stories of the day. Often it is here that the most significant interviews or developing stories are placed. Segment A runs 11:29 in duration, and closes out at :18 after with a two-minute station break.

At :20:35 past the hour, ''ATC'' picks back up with Segment B. This segment, which runs 8:24, features more news and analysis, and often contains lighter stories and commentary. Segment B breaks for the half-hour at :29 past. The program goes into a one-minute local break.

At the bottom of the hour, ''ATC'' resumes with a "host return". In the 30-second return, the host or hosts discuss what's coming up in the remaining half-hour and intro the news. This is immediately followed by a 3:30 newscast which ends at :34 after the hour, followed by a one-minute local break.

Segment C kicks off at :35:35 past the hour, and runs 8:24. Long feature stories are heard here, or as many as three shorter stories or commentaries may be heard as well. Segment D occurs immediately after Segment C at :44 past the hour, and runs for four minutes. Segment D is a designated cutaway for stations to run local commentary or features in lieu of the national segment. Segment D ends at :48 after the hour, and another two-minute break ensues. Occasionally, the show will "break format" and place a long, 12-minute story in Segments C and D without a local cutaway.

Segment E starts at :50 after, and concludes the hour. The segment runs 8:09. Unlike ''Morning Edition'', there is no set format for this segment, although usually the second hour will contain an arts, culture, or lighter news story in this segment. Other times, hard news otherwise not fitting in the program may be placed here.

Stations receive a preliminary rundown before each broadcast (usually a few minutes before 4:00&nbsp;p.m. Eastern) denoting the timing and placement of stories so they can schedule local content as appropriate. This rundown is updated as stories change until the feed ends at 10 p.m. ET. As with ''Morning Edition'', two hours of content are scheduled for each program. After 6 p.m. Eastern, the feed repeats the earlier hours for the Midwest and West Coast, although information is updated through the evening as appropriate.

==Awards==
Major awards won by the show include the Ohio State Award, the [[Peabody Award]], the Overseas Press Club Award, the [[DuPont Awards|DuPont Award]], the American Women in Radio and Television Award, and the [[Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award|Robert F. Kennedy Award]]. In 1993, the show was inducted into the [[National Radio Hall of Fame]], the first<ref>{{cite web |title=30th Anniversary Celebration of All Things Considered |url=https://www.npr.org/programs/atc/atc30/timeline/1993.html |website=[[National Public Radio]] |date=2001 |access-date=2010-12-12}}</ref> public radio program to be given that honor.

In 2017, the first broadcast episode (from 1971) of ''All Things Considered'' was selected for preservation in the [[National Recording Registry]] by the [[Library of Congress]].  Recordings in the collection are considered "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.loc.gov/item/prn-17-029/ | title=National Recording Registry Picks Are "Over the Rainbow" | work=Library of Congress | date=March 29, 2016 | access-date=March 29, 2016}}</ref>

==International broadcasts==
{{Unreferenced section|date=October 2024}}
[[ABC NewsRadio]] in Australia broadcasts a continuous hour of selected segments from each day's program between 12:00 and 13:00 [[Time in Australia|Australian Eastern Standard Time]] Monday to Friday. Segments A to D are edited together omitting local NPR news inserts.
