About Bill Moyers' new program:
WISR MA student, Mark Snaer wants us to know that:
Bill Moyers is at it again; asking probing questions, conversing
with
interesting people. His new show is called "Bill Moyers on
Faith and
Reason", It's on PBS but it's tucked away on our alternate
PBS
station KVIE2. We have to have cable to get this station in
Sacramento. And, the time slot is terrible we have a choice of 11PM
Wednesday or 2AM Thursday. I'm glad I can record it for later. You
can also view the interviews via the internet, The website is
http://www.pbs.org/moyers/faithandreason/perspectives4.html.
This takes you to the main page, then
click on "watch & listen".
