This American Life Moves to Self-Distribute Program - Partners with PRX to Deliver Episodes to Public Radio Stations

Chicago - Starting July 1, 2014, Chicago Public Media and Ira Glass will start independently distributing the public radio show This American Life to over 500 public radio stations.  Episodes will be delivered to radio stations by PRX, The Public Radio Exchange.  Since 1997, the show has been distributed by Public Radio International.

“We’re excited and proud to be partners now with PRX,” said Glass.  “They’ve been a huge innovative force in public radio, inventing technologies and projects to get people on the air who’d have a much harder time without them.  They’re mission-driven, they’re super-capable  and apparently they’re pretty good with computers.”
