Daybreak: When Radio Gave the Day a Shape

There was a time when you didn’t search a catalog for something to hear. A program arrived at a particular hour—and you made room for it. This morning on Daybreak, we consider the return of appointment listening, tonight’s GKC presentation on Monday Night Playhouse, and the growing rhythm of Morning Prayer, Daybreak, ROOK, Saturday at Eleven, Sunday plays, and The Open Door. Perhaps radio’s old gift wasn’t simply programming. It gave the day a shape.
