CBS may tap former Entertainment Tonight co-anchor, John Tesh to become successor to Dan Rather in the troubled network's attempt to regain lost viewers, many of whom are skeptical of the news organization and their ability to report with impartiality. Tesh's career includes six emmy awards and an Associated Press Award for investigative journalism.
This seems like an interesting attempt to attract more of the conservative leaning viewers who are turning to other sources like FoxNews.

Well, Tesh is a solid individual. It would be a great choice.

Will his wife Connie Selleca be co-host?
To: MrArbitrage
He's a Christian, too. Could end up being the only one in the MSM.
That would be a daring move. Something would have to give his Christianity, or CBSnews' stance. Wonder which it would be?

You know, if I really wanted CBS to do well I'd tell them to throw John Stossel of ABC a healthy offer and make him anchor.
It's good to see them sinking though. Maybe they'll call in James Carvelle or Michael Moore to replace Ol' Dan. Those guys could really seal the coffin. :)
To: MrArbitrage
If this is true, CBS will truley have crossed the line into self-parody.

Will he play the piano at the conclusion of the Evening News?
[This sounds like someone is throwing names around to see if any stick with the focus groups. CBS needs to get someone fresh, not some common face. Next, we'll hear they are considering bringing Phil Donahue out of retirement----oh, wait, MSNBC already tried that lead balloon.]

Goen succeeds Tesh on ET
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- "Entertainment Tonight" weekend anchor Bob Goen will slide into the co-anchor's chair to succeed John Tesh.
Goen, who has also served as a correspondent for the show, has been with "ET" since 1993. The show announced his new job Tuesday.
Tesh, who will devote his time to his music career, will appear on the show for the last time on May 30. "ET" didn't say when Goen will debut alongside Mary Hart.
Before joining "ET," Goen was host of the daytime version of "Wheel of Fortune" and other game shows.
Tesh, a pianist and composer, saw his 1995 release "Live at Red Rocks" reach No. 1 on Billboard magazine's New Age chart, selling more than 500,000 copies. He starts a national tour June 12 in Chicago.

Nah...John Tesh is a Christian who makes Christian worship albums with his wife (forget her name, TV personality)...no way they'd hire him.

Since Ronald McDonald is rumored to have turned down the job, Tesh would be perfect.

Actually, I'd watch John Tesh deliver the news. No question. But I don't believe this for a second.

Not that it matters much, but Tesh could compose a new theme for CBS news if he's hired.
