PBS ends weekend newscasts, launches Horizons and Compass Points

Facing a $1.1 billion federal funding cut, PBS ends its weekend News Weekend newscasts and launches two 30-minute, topic-focused programs—Horizons (science/tech) and Compass Points (foreign affairs)—taped midweek to save costs; the weekday NewsHour remains, a West Coast bureau closure accompanies the changes, and PBS signals no immediate return to weekend news pending future funding.
