Stewart and Couric to anchor CBS News?
It sounds like CBS chairman Leslie Moonves won't rule out such a pairing. Arthur Spiegelman has the story for Reuters:
While Moonves said he has not ruled out a return to a single anchor, it would have to be "a very special person." He added, "Maybe it is reinventing the wheel but it is something we are trying to do. There is going to be a very different show than the show that is on now."Now that's network news I would watch.
He refused to comment on reports that he had spoken to Katie Couric, the popular co-host of NBC's "Today" show or that he was trying to enlist comedian Jon Stewart, who hosts a newscast parody on cable TV, as a commentator.
But he said he wanted to draw a younger audience to the news, and both Couric and Stewart are popular with television's key audience demographic, viewers aged 18 to 49.
