"Washington Week" (previously "Washington Week in Review") is a public affairs program on the PBS. "Washington Week" has consistently been recognized for quality. Unlike panel discussion shows that focus on debate as a means of discussing topics, the program follows a path of moderation and discussion.

History

"Washington Week in Review" was first broadcast on 23 February 1967 on National Educational Television, making it the longest running show of its type on PBS. Since 1970, "Washington Week" has used a panel discussion format, moderated by a host. Gwen Ifill has been the host since 1999. [ [http://www.pbs.org/weta/washingtonweek/gwen/ Washington Week with Gwen Ifill . About Gwen | PBS ] ] In 2006, "Washington Week" made an agreement with "National Journal" which ensures that at least one "National Journal" reporter is on the show.Fact|date=July 2008

Production

"Washington Week" is on PBS's national primetime lineup; because of the subscriber nature of PBS, local presentation of "Washington Week" is scheduled by individual stations, and air times vary by market. The program is produced by WETA-TV in Washington, D.C.

Throughout the run, the program's funders have included: Boeing, Ford Motor Company (for most of the show's run), SBC Communications (before merging with AT&T), Shell Oil, The Annenberg Foundation, The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and PBS viewers. As of August 2006, current corporate funders include Boeing, Chevron Oil, the National Mining Association, and Norfolk Southern.
