Now on PBS, shown onscreen as NOW, is a Public Broadcasting Service newsmagazine which aired between 2002 and 2010, focusing on social and political issues.
First airing in January 2002, and originally called Now with Bill Moyers, the program was launched as a collaboration between NPR news and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).
Bill Moyers served initially as sole host of the program while NPR reporters and commentators produced individual segments for the hour long-program.
In 2004, Kenneth Tomlinson, the Chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, paid an outside consultant $14,000 to watch NOW with Bill Moyers and analyze the politics of the show.
Moyers subsequently announced that he would leave the show after the 2004 U.S. elections and appeared for the last time on December 17, 2004.
