bILL MOyERS

FAnS hAvE

good reason

to rejoice.

the beloved

broadcast

journalist

returns to

thIrteen

this month

with Moyers

& Company,

a new weekly

series of compelling and vital conver-

sations about life and the state of

american democracy, featuring some

of the best thinkers of our time.

when Bill Moyers announced that he

was retiring from weekly television and

ending Bill Moyers Journal, there was

a collective cry of despair from public

television viewers around the world. one

thIrteen viewer wrote us to say, “how

can it be? there will be a huge hole in

your news programming if you allow

Bill Moyers Journal to disappear from

your line-up.” another viewer declared,

“losing Bill Moyers is too much. we

count on PBs to keep up us informed in

the sea of trashy and biased reporting.”

and now Bill’s back. each Moyers &

Company broadcast includes enlightening

conversations and an occasional essay

by Moyers on society and government.

a range of scholars, artists, activists,

scientists, philosophers, and newsmakers

bring context, insight, and meaning to

important topics.

“In tumultuous times like these I relish

the company of people who make sense

of the tumult,” Moyers said. “those are

the people I’ll bring to my new series.”

he added that he is returning to his first

love—the conversation of democracy—

“because talk always matters and ideas

always empower, but never more than

at a critical moment like this when all of

us, no matter our politics or ideology,

seem unable to hear, as Joseph

Campbell might put it, ‘the better

angels of our nature.’”

Moyers invites you to join the conver-

sation by visiting the all-new website,

billmoyers.com, a marketplace of ideas

where you can share opinions, watch

video segments from the series, and

enjoy other content encompassing his

body of work in media.

“In the conversation of democracy,”

he said, “everyone’s invited.”

dowNtoNdrama

ExCItIng

nEwS FOR

vIEwERS

who are

suffering from

Downton

Abbey with-

drawal: the

wildly popular

Masterpiece

miniseries

returns to thIrteen this month with

a second season filled with drama, ro-

mance, intrigue, and scandals galore.

one of the most successful series in

recent Masterpiece history, Downton

Abbey depicts the intertwined lives of

servants and aristocrats at a country

estate. with a cast including Dame

Maggie smith, elizabeth McGovern, hugh

Bonneville, and many more, Downton

Abbey season 2 airs seven consecutive

sundays at 9 p.m., from January 8 through

february 19, 2012. laura linney hosts.

Downton Abbey’s first season

received six Primetime emmy awards,

including outstanding Miniseries or

Movie and wins for Dame Maggie smith

(supporting actress) and Julian fellowes

(writing). It was a hit with British and

american audiences alike, attracting

new fans and delighting viewers who

have been enjoying Masterpiece since it

premiered on thIrteen—as Masterpiece

Theatre—over 40 years ago.

In season two, the ordered world of

Downton Abbey is shattered with the

eruption of world war I, which affected

every aspect of life in england, acceler-

ating the social change that was already

transforming an age-old system of class

and privilege.

“every character deals with the impact

of the war in a different way,” said

elizabeth McGovern, who plays Cora,

Countess of Grantham. “for some

characters, it creates new opportuni-

ties they never dreamed possible for

themselves. Many of the servants find

that there’s a lot more social flexibility in

the army than there is in their life. other

characters are very undermined, and

obviously there’s a lot of death and

terrible pain…. the life these people

were enjoying is blasted apart.”
