Beginning this June 28, APM will begin a new one hour program, Marketplace Weekend, to replace Marketplace Money. A letter from Executive Producer, Deb Clark, on the APM also states that the new show host will be Lizzy O'Leary who joined Marketplace last year when she moved frokm CNN.The new program is still in development but will focus more widely on finance than its weekend predecessor which was targeted at personal finance. The letter states:
Marketplace Weekend will deliver on our core content coverage area of business and economic news. We will be adding more technology coverage, a wrap-up and analysis of the week’s “Numbers”, interesting interviews and maintaining the strong and distinctive approach to personal finance and investing that has always been a hallmark of Marketplace Money. This will all be done with Marketplace’s fun, irreverent approach and gives the team a wider range of topics to explore for the weekend audience.
Program fees will remain flat - the same as Money.
