Every year WRP’s program director looses some hair over this complex period of time for us, when the US and Canada go to summer time three weeks before we do. This causes live shows from North America to air one hour earlier than they normally do. Over the years we have tried to reduce the impact of this issue for you, our beloved listeners. However, the last few shows that we carry live, such as CBC’s evening news at 6pm EST will air at 11pm French time until March 29th. We decided to also move forward “As it Happens” to midnight. This might give you a chance to discover this great show, that has been on air on the CBC for over 50 years.
We had to make a choice between airing Pacifica Evening news from Berkeley, California, at 2am or leaving the BBC World Service business report at its usual time. In these situations, we always keep the shows in place, so you will only be able to listen to Pacifica News again starting April 1st.
We are really sorry if this is causing any inconvenience, but there is really no easy way to solve this.
Thanks for listening to WRP.
