Journalist Bill Moyers retired from weekly TV a year ago but now says he plans to return.

He said Monday he'll be back in January with an hourlong interview show called "Moyers & Company."

He says the new weekly show will not be carried by PBS, the home for much of his past programming. It will be distributed to public TV stations by American Public Television.

The 77-year-old Moyers said his upcoming show will feature interviews with diverse voices and the goal of contributing "to the conversation of democracy."

1. That IS good news! To be able to hear Bill Moyers' sane voice on TV again.

I hope I'll be able to see whatever station picks it up.

2. I was always sorry Moyers never made a run for President.

Molly Ivins famously urged a "Draft Bill Moyers" movement and Ralph Nader said he would support him. It will be good to have him back.

3. Maybe Al Gore's channel will pick him up?

Says he isn't going back to PBS. I hope he also makes the episodes available online.
