KIOS (91.5 FM) debuts a revamped programming lineup Saturday, introducing six new programs, as well as a redesigned website that offers streaming audio.Station Manager Keith Neisler said the changes are part of the station's commitment to provide listeners with the very best in public radio programming. The new programs range from fun and informative, to money and business, to faith and religion.
"I am extremely pleased with the line-up we are offering our listeners," Neisler said. "It is perhaps the strongest group of shows we have had at KIOS for many years. Public radio is constantly changing to provide the highest quality programming and we are endeavoring to do that with the changes that begin in July."

I believe the final half-hour of All Things Considered will be replaced by Marketplace at 5:30pm.
This is a terrible move by KIOS for anyone that leaves work at 5:30pm and looks forward to that final half-hour of All Things Considered.
Losing the Metropolitan Opera on Saturday afternoons is a cultural blow to Omaha. Who at KIOS is making these decisions?
The Met Opera afternoon boradcasts are very expensive, I'm thinking that had something to do with it.
