We sadly report that Special Session, the Legislature-themed show produced and hosted by Emmy-winning filmmaker Paul Stekler, will not be returning to public television station KLRU this year. “Just too hard to find funding for it,” reports Stekler, a radio-television-film professor at UT.

Of course, KLRU will not be devoid of Lege examination, as it figures to play a large role over the next five months in Evan Smith‘s Texas Monthly Talks series.

On the upside, KXAN’s Jenny Hoff has a new program titled Session ’09 In-Depth, airing every Sunday at 9:30am before Meet the Press.
