“The ability for us to make Morning Edition available on-demand was no small feat. Morning Edition is not like our podcasts because it’s designed to be a mix of national and local stories; some segments are produced by our reporters at our headquarters here in DC and at bureaus around the world, while others are produced by your local member station and included in the broadcast at designated intervals throughout the show. We’d intentionally never made Morning Edition available on-demand before because we couldn’t figure out how to digitally reproduce a faithful version of the program with local segments included, which would’ve essentially involved creating 300 or so versions of Morning Edition at any given time.”
