When You Feel the Need to Know...

After 30 plus years in broadcasting, Bill Moyers called it a day last Friday, and is now basking in the glow of retirement...tonight, PBS premieres the next generation of weekly primetime news/ public affairs series with "Need To Know". Pulitzer Prize winner Jon Meacham co-anchors a cross-media news and public affairs magazine that culls stories from the best of the week's online reporting, culminating in a one-hour on-air broadcast every Friday night on PBS. The program will feature documentary-style reports, short features, studio-based interviews and more...7:30pm www.pbs.org/needtoknow

Our Friday night news line-up is capped off with European Journal, where each week, teams of journalists, photographers and producers scour the continent in search of stories with impact and meaning for American viewers...it's world news with a little different slant...8:30

And if you missed this week's American Experience "Roads to Memphis", it will air again
on Sunday afternoon. A fascinating timeline tracing the final steps of Martin Luther King Jr.
and the man who brought the dream to an end, his subsequent international manhunt and capture...Roads to Memphis, Sunday 1pm.
