Bill Moyers Coming Out Of Retirement, May Return To PBS

Bill Moyers – whom you might remember from a number of publications and news programs, including PBS’ Bill Moyers Journal – may be coming back to public television after having supposedly retired around this time last year.

According to the New York Times‘ Media Decoder, Moyers has received “preliminary approval” for a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, which would allow him to return to PBS as host of a weekly, half-hour show tentatively titled Something Different with Bill Moyers. The Corporation’s board has voted on a grant that would give Moyers’ production company $2 million for a 29-month run.

In an email statement, Moyers clarified that PBS was only “one potential source of distribution,” and that no air date has been set.
