Encyclopedia : B : BI : BIL : Bill Moyers' Journal

Bill Moyers' Journal is the name of an American news program that provided quality stories outside the New York City public area on a schedule of news topics and events, such as religion, history, sexuality, geography and more. Originally, Bill Moyers was the excecutive creator and host/reporter for this sensational news documentary. It was produced by WNET in New York and aired from 1972 to 1976 on PBS.

In 1979, following a hiatus that lasted almost three years, many presidential members of PBS announced that Bill Moyers' Journal resumed production for a second series. When it did, many more topics were added to the schedule after Bill Moyers came back from CBS News, including elections and announcements from all across almost every U.S. state, such as Florida, Texas, Illinois, Washington, D.C. and Nevada. It also had a report on the 25th anniversary of the premiere of the long-running NBC talk program The Tonight Show. The second installment of this program was also produced by WNET in New York City, and was also aired on PBS, and the whole series ended immediately in 1981.
