McLaughlin Group Returns To PBS

I saw this story on DCRTV.com:

"The McLaughlin Group," a pioneer among political TV talk shows, returns to public television in September when weekly episodes begin airing on Maryland Public Television. A new episode will air Friday evenings at 11:30 PM and again Sunday mornings at 11 AM on MPT, starting Friday, September 6. Maryland Public Television and "The McLaughlin Group’s" production company, Re-Group Media, have entered into an agreement to produce and distribute the weekly series. The program will be recorded each Friday at a Washington DC studio. As presenting station, MPT will market, promote, and distribute the program nationally through an agreement with American Public Television. "The McLaughlin Group" will begin airing exclusively on public television stations nationwide and digital platforms in January 2020. Tom Rogan, noted political writer and commentator, is back to host the series. Rogan replaced original host John McLaughlin, who died in 2016. He is joined by longtime regular panel members Pat Buchanan, Eleanor Clift, and Clarence Page. Guest panelists will also appear on the program on a regular basis....

One name not included among the returning panelists: Morton Kondrake, who is now 80. Always liked it when John referred to him as "More-TON!"
 
All of the panelists are way up there in age. Pat Buchannan will turn 81 in the fall, Eleanor Clift is 79, and Clarence Page is a relative youngster at 72.

I might sample this revival if my local PBS station picks it up, but without much initial enthusiasm.
