The hosts had been splitting their time between the news shows and NPR’s “Planet Money.”

The clock includes a spot for inserting local news that station leaders had requested.
NPR has said that stations may instead have to air a full three-minute national newscast during that time.
A proposed update would lengthen segments and return the show to a format of two newscasts per hour instead of three.
“Morning Edition” and “All Things Considered” will each feature four hosts.
The podcast, which features the hosts of “Morning Edition” and NPR reporters, launches Wednesday.
Martin says she also wants the show to be more comfortable sounding live.
