Bill Moyers is returning to public television in January, but he won’t be found on the PBS lineup. The program will be based at WNET in New York City and distributed free to public television stations by American Public Television, an alternative distributor to PBS. The new hourlong weekly show, called “Moyers & Company,” will focus on one-on-one interviews with people not often heard on television, “thinkers who can help us understand the chaos of this time,” Moyers told The New York Times. “We’re going to be concerned with the state of democracy and the state of affairs, but we will leave the daily and weekly story to others and try to do the back story.”
Earlier this year, Moyers, who retired from PBS in April 2010, said he had received $2 million in financing from the Carnegie Corporation of New York for the new show.
