Stations and Time
The show is broadcast each weekday from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. (half an hour later in Newfoundland) throughout Canada. It used to be widely accessible to much of the northern United States, but as the CBC switched its CBC Radio One from powerful AM signals in Eastern Canadian urban centres to FM stations, it became harder to receive CBC content further away from the border.
As It Happens can be heard on CBC Radio One's channel 159 on Sirius Satellite Radio (in both Canada and the U.S.), on an increasing number of American public radio stations, and on the Internet via streaming audio at the CBC's website. Older broadcasts are available as a stream from the CBC's website, but without the music.
As It Happens is heard on a delayed-broadcast basis in the United States; American stations that carry As It Happens do not air the final half hour (7:30 to 8:00 p.m.) of the program. Two more stations are expected to join the "As It Happens" network on July 2, 2012: WGBH-FM in Boston and Vermont Public Radio in that state.
During the summer, the program ends at 7:30 and is followed by a half-hour program from the network's schedule of short-run summer series. In the fall of 2009, the show also added a repeat airing at midnight Tuesday morning to Friday morning.

Famous quotes containing the words stations and, stations and/or time:
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“It is too great comfort which turns a man against himself. Life is most readily renounced at the time and among the classes where it is least harsh.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
