Katie Couric Leaving CBS Evening News: Moving to a Talk ShowGiven the decline of the CBS News ratings, I'm guessing that her successor will not get a long-term contract. If I were running CBS News, I'd make a big offer to somebody like Anderson Cooper for a year, with his renewal package tied to the program's share and/or the show's revenues. If he makes the pre-set goals, he gets a sweetheart deal for another year, with another similar clause for the next renewal. If he fails to move the needle relative to the competition, he's out and some other schmuck gets a chance.
Your right. CBS's picks for a replacement are just awful. They probably do not want to pay a lucrative contract knowing that they will probably still be in third place.
