The show is moving away from its roots with Garrison Keillor.
He also expressed interest in reviving tours of “A Prairie Home Companion.”
The disclosure triggered an investigation by MPR that found Keillor had engaged in unwanted physical contact and inappropriate incidents.
MPR gave up legal rights to the ‘Prairie Home’ name when it terminated its contracts with former host Garrison Keillor.
Allegations leveled against the creator and former host of “A Prairie Home Companion” don’t fit the pattern of sexual predators who deserved their takedowns.
MPR is also ending distribution and broadcasts of “The Writer’s Almanac” and rebroadcasts of “The Best of A Prairie Home Companion” hosted by Keillor.
The upcoming batch of episodes doubles the new host’s stage time.
The new host gave a preview to program directors with a mix of new and old elements.
Producer American Public Media is hoping to pull off a “Leno to Fallon” transition with the host.
