MOYERS & COMPANY
Public Television, Check local listings
Bill Moyers had announced his intention to stop his public TV series by now, until being persuaded otherwise by fans who begged him to remain a presence and provide his voice to the media mix. (Count me as one of those beggars.) Well, the new version of Moyers & Company begins tonight – trimmed from 60 to 30 minutes, but still determined to examine important issues in a way, and at a depth, that few other TV programs even attempt. Tonight’s inaugural edition of this series reboot pairs Moyers with another of my favorite TV talkers: astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, whose smart, confident conversational style is perfectly matched to that of Moyers. Moyers & Company airs from Friday to Sunday on local public TV stations; to find it in your local area, visit the BillMoyers.com website.
