SC Public Radio's statewide network is experiencing intermittent outages and programming issues due to ongoing infrastructure upgrades. Our team is working to keep these disruptions to a minimum and to resolve issues that do arise. During broadcast outages, streaming on this site, the SCETV App, the NPR App, and smart speakers will remain unaffected.

Today is the deadline for the nation's airports to screen all checked baggage for explosives. The Transportation Security Administration says it will have the necessary equipment and procedures in place by midnight to meet the Congressionally-mandated timetable.
