For that matter, didn't "Whaddaya Know?" used to be on after "Wait Wait 
Don't Tell Me!" on Saturdays at 1pm?  Their web schedule shows more BBC.

The website also shows no entry for "On the Media" or "Soundprint" 
(although I think Soundprint disappeared a while ago) and very surprising 
they don't list "Living on Earth" on Sunday nights at 11pm (LOE.org says 
it's then and I remember getting an email newsletter bitching about how 
WBUR had bumped them from early Sunday morning to a new and equally-lousy 
time on Sunday night).

Gone also is the Sunday morning re-broadcast of Weekend Edition Saturday 
(which I thought was always a dumb idea, but WESAT was their highest-rated 
show for a long time)
