Marketplace is a radio program that focuses on business, the economy, and events that influence them. Hosted by Kai Ryssdal, the show is produced and distributed by American Public Media, in association with the University of Southern California. Marketplace is produced in Los Angeles with bureaus in New York, Washington, D.C., Portland, Baltimore, London, and Shanghai. It won a Peabody Award in 2000.
Marketplace was founded in 1989 by James Russell and J.J. Yore in Long Beach, California. It was initially affiliated with KLON-FM at Cal State—Long Beach. The show nearly ran out of funding its first year, which Russell described, saying, "We were within three days of laying off our small staff and closing down." The program survived through the help of the University of Southern California (USC), and later, in 1990, with the underwriting of General Electric. USC became the only university in the US at the time to produce a daily news program distributed nationally.
In 2000, Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) acquired Marketplace Productions. This acquisition was the subject of a lawsuit by Public Radio International. In 2004, American Public Media was founded as the production and distribution arm of MPR, and is currently the producer and distributor of Marketplace.
