NOTE: American Public Media will provide stations with the option of carrying the 90-minute program, along with a 29-minute package of related materials from King's Chapel. The break away opportunity will occur at the end of the service (estimated at ca. 90 minutes); host Michael Barone will say: "...A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, from Cambridge England." There will then be a three-second pause for stations to break away if they'd like, or to remain with the rest of the program that will be rounded out to 1:59:00 length by inclusion of appropriate pre-recorded seasonal music from King's College. There are no other internal breaks.
