Sun-Times Columnist and movie critic announced he would not be renewing his contract with ‘At The Movies.’ He said in a statement:
Several months ago, Disney offered to extend my contract, which expires at the conclusion of the 2007-08 season. I opted to wait. Much transpired after that behind the scenes, but an agreement was never reached, and we are all moving on.
His last episode will air August 16 and 17. He has been with the show for eight years. [S-T]
