As of Monday, "The Newshour with Jim Lehrer" became "PBS Newshour". And with the change, there is a return to the dual anchor format the show had prior to Robert MacNeil's departure in 1995.
I haven't had a chance to see the changes yet. Apparently, the co-anchor will rotate on a daily or weekly basis. There will also be a third person dedicated to reading the news summary. Apparently, Mr. Lehrer (who is also executive producer and managing editor) wanted to make some changes. Rumors of his retirement are still abound.
