News from PBS Based on a recent vote of PBS stations and station groups, a commitment has been made regarding the hour-long version of "The MacNeil Lehrer Report." The expanded "Report." featuring Robert MacNeil and James Lehrer, will be fed via satellite at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. (ET) each weekday week-day evening. PBS will also be holding a follow-up vote to determine if stations require a third feed at possibly 8, 8:30 or 9 p.m. The expanded "Report" is slated to begin airing sometime some-time mid-summer, but it has not yet been determined where it will fit in the schedule sched-ule vs. network competition. This honors a promise made by MacNeil and Lehrer Lehr-er to the individual stations at the Washington Program Fair last November that they would allow the stations sta-tions maximum freedom to schedule the program to their respective markets.. |
