Why the airtime matters for Marist Education audiences
For school leaders and educators in Catholic and Marist networks, aligning programming with school calendars ensures timely access to commentary and interviews that inform civic education and media literacy curricula. The 11:00 PM ET slot historically aligns with late-evening activities and can be integrated into after-school programs, evening study sessions, or teacher planning windows when districts permit extended conversations about current events.
