FWIW, No name change for the show as yet, but the PrairieHome.org website appears to link strictly to Thile-hosted content (though Keillor is mentioned in the relevant historical portions of the site). The Pretty Good Goods catalog was hosted on mpr.org and now simply reads: "Pretty Good Goods is no longer in service. All current orders placed on Pretty Good Goods will be fulfilled in the standard timeframe."
Keillor also has a syndicated column in many newspapers. As it isn't affiliated with American Public Media or MPR, I suppose it could continue. I didn't expect it either, but I'm not surprised. Perhaps this is because of the current cleaning of house and/or a mild caddish vibe I get from him for reasons I can't quite pinpoint. (No, it's not the cadre of comparatively younger women he sings with on the show.)

Thile's version of PHC has a live episode (from Town Hall in New York) coming up on Saturday. They better change the name of that show soon.
