Below is a message I got today from WGBH the station that produces NYW. A couple of weeks ago I wrote them asking about the 2010 season of NYW. Below is their response. I wish they were right and Norm would be on the air next year with new shows. But it does not look like that will happen according to last weeks news release.
This email makes me think that Norm's discontinuing the show is a surprise to WGBH too.
