Weekend America Will End at the End of January

Just in from the Twitterverse: American Public Media is pulling the plug on John Moe's public radio show Weekend America. Per Moe himself: "Weekend America is ending as of 1/31/09. It's a hell of a show with brilliant people. For reasons, see: economy. I'll still be employed." The show charmed two voices off our local NPR affiliate: Current host Moe, now living in St. Paul, and founding host Bill Radke, now in Los Angeles. (Can we have a Moe-ful The Works back? No? Bummer.) No news yet on what KUOW will put in its place noon to 2:00 on Saturdays.
