It can be heard on more than 160 stations nationwide. The program is also broadcast in Germany, Japan, and Finland, and is available on U.S. military installations worldwide on the Armed Forces Network.

Each week, more than 2.2 million listeners across the country tune in to The Diane Rehm Show, which has grown from a local morning call-in show to one of public broadcasting's most popular programs. The two-hour show covers a range of topics and includes questions and comments from listeners. Many of the nation's prominent newsmakers, journalists and authors have appeared on her show. The program has been called one of the most interesting talk shows in the country, according to Newsweek magazine. The Diane Rehm Show was named to the Top 10 list of the most powerful programs in public radio for 2007 and 2008, based on its ability to draw listeners to public radio stations.
