Reply #59: Brancaccio has been host of NOW since 2004. His show has been cancelled. [View All]

[clear eye]

I've been watching the show since back when it was hosted by Moyers. Brancaccio will not have a show after this March. He did not give it up voluntarily.

PBS ombudsman, Michael Getler, early last December had some choice words about how the show was cancelled w/o explanation. http://www.pbs.org/ombudsman/2009/12/the_mailbag_20.html Mr. Getler is finding it impossible to explain to the many viewers who have asked him about it in their emails.

Sorry folks, there does seem to be some agenda in operation, since PBS management said both NOW and the Journal (for which they could have found a new host) were not being cancelled for financial reasons. They declined to offer any other explanation.
