The Takeaway is a morning radio news program co-created and co-produced by Public Radio International (PRI) and WNYC-New York Public Radio with editorial partners The New York Times, and WGBH Radio Boston of the United States. In addition to co-producing/co-creating the program, PRI also distributes the program nationwide to its affiliate stations.
The program's stated intent is to deliver news and cultural stories through a conversational and personality-driven format. The program launched on April 28, 2008. On January 25, 2010, a new schedule at flagship station WNYC-FM moved the show to WNYC-AM with a four-hour segment. Since September 3, 2012 the show has been reduced to one hour.
Currently the program's primary host is John Hockenberry. It debuted on WNYC in New York, WGBH in Boston, and WEAA in Baltimore. The show initially launched with Adaora Udoji as co-host. Udoji left the show after its first year, at the beginning of May, 2009. Celeste Headlee co-hosted from 2009 to August 2012.
The program has received major philanthropic support from The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,Rockefeller Foundation, and the Skoll Foundation.
With the program's debut, public radio had more than one program available throughout the morning drive across time zones for the first time. The format of the program was influenced by discussions at the Stanford Joint Program in Design. It has a different tone and approach from NPR's Morning Edition, delivering national and international news and cultural stories through a conversational and personality-driven format rather than a magazine, packaged pieces format like Morning Edition. The web presence of the program allows listeners to respond immediately to news and participate in editorial decision-making, as well as building a significant online community around the content.
