Due South, ¹ÏÉñapp's daily radio show, will move to a 12 p.m. noon weekdays time slot beginning on Monday, Jan. 27.
The show, which explores news issues and culture throughout the Triangle and North Carolina, has occupied the 10 a.m. weekday slot since the show began airing in October 2023. Terry Gildea, ¹ÏÉñapp's Program Director, said the decision to move the program to noon is based on several factors.
"Our audience loves Due South," said Gildea. "One piece of consistent feedback we have received from listeners is that they want to engage with a local program later in the broadcast day. Also, audience data over the past year has shown us that more people are listening in the afternoon. I believe Due South will be able to engage a larger audience in the noon time slot."
Due South is cohosted by Leoneda Inge and Jeff Tiberii. The show was recently named one of Garden & Gun magazine's "." Recent episodes have featured a look at the life and legacy of President Jimmy Carter, an interview with rapper Petey Pablo, an examination of sports at HBCUs, and a story about a North Carolina farmer who bought the land where his ancestors were once enslaved.
1A, produced by WAMU and NPR, will return to the broadcast window it previously occupied before Due South went on the air. Hour one of the show will air at 10 a.m. and hour two at 11 a.m.
