| Lydon (Boston Globe) |
Twelve years after parting company with WBUR-FM after a
rancorous contract dispute, Christopher Lydon — former host of “The
Connection,” a daily talk show that once aired on 75 National Public Radio
affiliates — is returning to the station, according to bostom.com.
Starting in January, Lydon, 73, will host an hourlong
program titled “Open Source with Christopher Lydon,” to be broadcast live on
WBUR 90.9 FM every Thursday from 9 to 10 p.m. Joining Lydon is his longtime
producer, Mary McGrath.
Under the arrangement, finalized roughly six weeks ago,
Lydon and McGrath will continue to produce their own podcasts, links to which
will be posted on the radio station’s website. WBUR will rebroadcast “Open
Source” on weekends, at a time to be determined. It will replace “The Moth
Radio Hour,” which moves to Fridays at 9 p.m.
