Marketplace production location
I reverted the edit today that changed the production location from Los Angeles to Minnesota. Though Thursday's show mentioned that they were broadcasting from Minnesota, the Marketplace website still lists the Frank Stanton studio in LA. Occasionally the show broadcasts from Minnesota and other places, but there was no mention that this was a permanent change. --dinomite 13:31, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MarketplaceLogoOld.png
Image:MarketplaceLogoOld.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Numbers music
Regarding the "numbers" music: I'm sure I have heard them use other music in cases where the market rose or fell by an unusually large amount. Anyone know the names of the pieces they use?--Srleffler (talk) 14:19, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

They also definitely play "Put on a Happy Face" during certain mixed stock reports. Triangular (talk) 23:05, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

I know when the markets fall significantly, a piece reminiscent of a New Orleans funeral march is used, but I don't know the name of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jsmccartney (talk • contribs) 14:06, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

request edit
I would like to request several edits to the Marketplace page to update key stats and information. Full disclosure that I am employed by Marketplace. These are corrections and updates.

Edit 1; Paragraph 1: we now have a weekly audience of 12 million according to Nielsen Audio, 2014. REVISED COPY: With a weekly audience of more than twelve million

Edit 2; Companion Programs section:I have offered up core corrections below. Or I have also re-written the section in case it is preferable to replace entire paragraph. CORRECTION: A sister program, Marketplace Morning Report, offers five unique seven-minute, thirty-second morning broadcasts ADDITION/CORRECTION: Marketplace companion shows also include Marketplace Tech, currently airing weekdays with host Ben Johnson. ENTIRE SECTION REVISED TO BE MORE CLEAR: As of 2014, the Marketplace portfolio of programs consists of Marketplace with Kai Ryssdal; Marketplace Morning Report with David Brancaccio; Marketplace Tech with Ben Johnson; and Marketplace Weekend with Lizzie O'Leary. Molly Wood serves as a backup host. Marketplace, helmed by Kai Ryssdal, is the flagship evening drive-time program. The 30 minute program airs weekdays on public radio stations nationwide. Marketplace Morning Report, currently hosted by David Brancaccio, offers five unique seven-minute, thirty-second morning broadcasts that replace the business news-oriented "E" segment of the first and second hours of NPR's Morning Edition on many public radio stations. Since September 2014, Marketplace Morning Report has been incorporated into Morning Edition as a segment in the latter program's second hour.[5] Marketplace Tech originated as Marketplace Tech Report in September 2010 with John Moe. Now known as Marketplace Tech and hosted by Ben Johnson, it consists of one four-minute broadcast on weekdays. Marketplace Weekend originated with its predecessor, Marketplace Money, when the Marketplace brand took over the money advice program Sound Money in 2005, with content oriented toward a personal finance theme. Marketplace Money was replaced with Marketplace Weekend in June 2014.[6] All programs share editorial and reporter staff.

Edit 3; Hosts section. Several items to correct regarding Weekend (formerly Money) and the name of Marketplace Tech (no longer with word "Report"): REVISED COPY: Marketplace Weekend is currently hosted by Lizzie O'Leary. It's predecessor, Marketplace Money, was hosted by Carmen Wong Ulrich until January 31, 2014; Tess Vigeland from 2006 to 2012, and Kai Ryssdal until 2006. REVISED COPY: Marketplace Tech is hosted by Ben Johnson as of May 2013, taking over for David Brancaccio. It was hosted by John Moe until September 7, 2012. NEW COPY TO BE ADDED TO SECTION: As of 2015, Molly Wood serves as the backup host for all Marketplace shows and as senior tech correspondent for the portfolio.

Edit 4; Reporters Section: Various staff changes. Revised paragraph with current staff proposed: The program's regular reporters include: Stephen Beard, London Bureau Chief; Nancy Marshall-Genzer, senior reporter in Washington; Kimberley Adams, reporter in Washington; Scott Tong, sustainability correspondent in Washington; Amy Scott, education correspondent in Baltimore; Annie Baxter, senior reporter in St. Paul, Minnesota; Rob Schmitz, Shanghai Bureau Chief; Krissy Clark, wealth &poverty senior correspondent in Los Angeles; Adriene Hill, correspondent in Los Angeles; Andy Uhler, reporter in Los Angeles; Mitchell Hartman, entrepreneurship senior reporter in Portland, Oregon; Dan Gorenstein, health senior reporter in Philadelphia; Mark Garrison, reporter in New York; Sabri Ben-Achour reporter in New York; and Tracey Samuelson, reporter in New York. Molly Wood serves as senior tech correspondent, based in Bay Area.

Edit 5; Podcast section. Below is a revised blurb with more current information. On October 4, 2005 Marketplace began releasing a freely available weekly podcast Marketplace Takeout that "collects the best of Marketplace, Marketplace Morning Report and Marketplace Money." In January 2007 Marketplace Takeout was discontinued. Currently, all four radio programs are made available as free podcasts themselves. In addition, an "All-in-One" podcast provides the feeds of all four shows. In 2015, Marketplace began to offer digital-only podcasts: Actuality; Corner Office; and Codebreaker.

❌ Please provide reliable sources to support your claims. Also taglines such as "collects the best of Marketplace, Marketplace Morning Report and Marketplace Money." will never be accepted as Wikipedia is not a place to advertise yourself. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:56, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Hey Jmhatfield, I agree that this page needs some work, and your proposed edits don't seem off-the-wall. Couple of points though:
 * All the sources boil down to one source, the official webpage. You need to try to find sources from other people talking about marketplace, and not just marketplace talking about itself. For example, it totally doesn't fly to say "according to Neilsen" when the source is really marketplace.
 * Some of the content may get into WP:Indiscriminate lists territory. Some listing is fine, but its better to avoid long lists that end up taking up huge parts of the article.
 * If you have any questions feel free to let me know. Timothy Joseph Wood  17:38, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

I'm going to go ahead and call this answered. Most everything has been implemented, although I've softened the tone in a lot of it. I've also added a history section of my own accord (probably just a start of what a good history section should be), and an additional podcast that seems to be launching this month.

I've requested additional information regarding the program to help improve the article further, but it seems Jmhatfield is seldom on wiki, and that can be addressed whenever the information is provided. (Turns out, it's really hard to google information on a show called Marketplace, pretty generic for a search term, and it's really hard to find news stories on journalists, because news stories by them overwhelm search results.)

For now it's a substantial improvement, and we can move forward when the time comes. Timothy Joseph Wood 21:36, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
