Roger Ebert had a big announcement on his personal blog today: He's back in the TV business.
Ebert and his wife Chaz will produce "Roger Ebert Presents At the Movies," which will launch next January from WTTW, the PBS station in Chicago (where Ebert's first show with Gene Siskel, "Sneak Previews," originated).
The AP's Christy Lemire and NPR contributor Elvis Mitchell will be the co-hosts, debating movies and dishing out the trademark "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" judgments.
Two noted film bloggers, Kim Morgan (Sunset Gun) and Omar Moore (The Popcorn Reel), will be contributors to the show. Ebert himself will be featured in a segment called "Roger's Office," where he will discuss classic and overlooked films using a computer voice (since his emergency surgery following salivary-gland cancer in 2006, Ebert has been unable to speak).
