broadcast rights

American Public Media partner stations may carry any or all of The Writer's Almanac Programs an unlimited number of times on the air date (within the 24-hour release period for each day-specific program). No excerpting or editing of an individual program is allowed; it must be carried in its entirety. However, in multiple-station markets, the station currently carrying A Prairie Home Companion retains the exclusive right to broadcast the modules. Should the station currently carrying A Prairie Home Companion decline, it will then be made available to another partner station in the market, following American Public Media's standard policy of exclusivity. A service fee will apply to non-partner stations in addition to carriage fees. Simulcast streaming rights are available for this series. See terms and conditions described in the American Public Media Service Agreement. Prior to carrying this series, stations must confirm carriage with American Public Media.
