Minnesota Public Radio‘s attempt to offer continuing coverage of national breaking news on Sunday, July 14, was stymied by a lack of offerings from their national partners. MPR News, which normally airs “Weekend Edition” until 11 a.m., stuck with the program until 1 p.m. but listeners mostly heard repeats of features that aired earlier. After President Joe Biden finished a short 1 p.m. speech, MPR News switched to the BBC World Service, which went to a sports report a short time later.
