Marketplace is an American radio program that focuses on business, the economy, and events that influence them. The program was first broadcast on January 2, 1989. Hosted by Kai Ryssdal since 2005, the show is produced and distributed by American Public Media. Marketplace is produced in Los Angeles with bureaus in New York, Washington, D.C., Portland, Baltimore, London, and Shanghai. It won a Peabody Award in 2000.[http://www.peabodyawards.com/award-profile/marketplace 60th Annual Peabody Awards] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240519134415/https://peabodyawards.com/award-profile/marketplace/ |date=May 19, 2024 }}, May 2001.

Besides the flagship daytime half-hour program, Marketplace also produces a companion show, the seven-and-a-half-minute-long Marketplace Morning Report, hosted by David Brancaccio, which airs on many public radio stations during the last segment of the NPR program Morning Edition. The Marketplace team produces a number of podcasts, including Make Me Smart, This Is Uncomfortable, The Uncertain Hour, How We Survive, and Million Bazillion, as well as podcast versions of the radio broadcast and extended podcasts built around regular segments from the radio show.

History

Marketplace was founded in 1989 by James Russell in Long Beach, California.{{cite news | url=http://www.programdoctor.com/ | title=The Program Doctor | publisher=Jim Russell Productions | access-date=April 25, 2007 | archive-date=October 6, 2007 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071006030427/http://www.programdoctor.com/ | url-status=live }}{{cite web| url =http://savvytraveler.publicradio.org/about/bios/russell.shtml| title =Jim Russell General Manager, Marketplace Productions| website =They Savvy Traveler| access-date =April 22, 2016| archive-date =June 2, 2016| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20160602101703/http://savvytraveler.publicradio.org/about/bios/russell.shtml| url-status =live}}{{cite web| url =http://savvytraveler.publicradio.org/about/bios/yore.shtml| title =J.J.

The program survived through the help of the University of Southern California (USC), which acquired the show, and later, in 1990, with the underwriting of General Electric. USC became the only university in the U.S. at the time to produce a daily news program distributed nationally.

In 2000, Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) acquired Marketplace Productions from USC.{{cite web| url = http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/minnesota-public-radio-acquires-marketplace-productions-72618767.html| title = Minnesota Public Radio Acquires Marketplace Productions| date = April 14, 2000| website = PR Newswire| access-date = April 22, 2016| archive-date = May 9, 2016| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160509075458/http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/minnesota-public-radio-acquires-marketplace-productions-72618767.html| url-status = live}} This acquisition was the subject of a lawsuit by Public Radio International, which said it had not given its contractually required approval for the sale.{{cite web| url =http://current.org/files/archive-site/rad/rad008pri.html| title =PRI risks lawsuit with parent MPR over Marketplace| last =Behrens| first =Steve| date =May 1, 2000| website =Current| access-date =April 22, 2016| url-status =dead| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20160601034912/http://current.org/files/archive-site/rad/rad008pri.html| archive-date =June 1, 2016}}

In 2004, American Public Media was founded as the production and distribution arm of MPR, and is currently the producer and distributor of Marketplace.{{cite web| url =http://www.bu.edu/news/2005/11/16/bill-kling-a-founding-director-of-npr-to-speak-at-com/| title =Founding Director of National Public Radio and President of American Public Media to Speak at Boston University| last =Deveney| first =Ann| date =November 21, 2005| website =Boston University Public Relations| access-date =April 22, 2016| archive-date =May 9, 2016| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20160509161938/http://www.bu.edu/news/2005/11/16/bill-kling-a-founding-director-of-npr-to-speak-at-com/| url-status =live}}

The Marketplace Morning Report is a seven-minute, thirty-second broadcasts that replace the business news-oriented "E" segment of NPR's Morning Edition on subscribing public radio stations.

Because of the popularity of the Marketplace Morning Report, NPR struck a deal with APM to incorporate the segment into the second hour of Morning Edition, bringing the segment to all listeners, even if the station doesn't subscribe to Marketplace.{{cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/about-npr/325489884/npr-and-apm-bring-market-place-morning-report-to-all-morning-edition-listeners|title=NPR and APM Bring Marketplace Morning Report to All Morning Edition Listeners|website=NPR|access-date=July 14, 2015|archive-date=July 14, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150714225304/http://www.npr.org/about-npr/325489884/npr-and-apm-bring-market-place-morning-report-to-all-morning-edition-listeners|url-status=live}}
