NEW YORK — PBS launches its first new weekly public affairs series in more than a decade tonight, with respected public broadcasting veteran Bill Moyers taking on such topics as the complexities facing American Muslims and energy industry lobbying.
The one-hour "Now With Bill Moyers," airing locally Fridays at 9 p.m. on KCET, has come together only in the last couple of months. Moyers, who put aside several other projects to make time for the show, says that while the vision is for a program that tells stories other news outlets don't, with guests "other than the usual suspects of pundits," "Now" probably will evolve in coming weeks as the staff finds its way.
