This story is totally clueless for another reason too.

All non-CBSers named are under contract elsewhere. There will be no "interim" 16-month anchor. Demographics will drive a younger while male.

The pencil geek who wrote is simply reporting rumors.

CBS and super-agent Kenny Leibner will "decide" who the replacement will be.. and that will be that.

In many ways it will be meaningless, because within 60 months, TV network news as we know it will be gone.

That is true.

Most of these kinds of stories are PR department lead balloons to see what the public/industry reactions might be.

Remember, that a month or so ago, the top circulated name was Tim Russert, and he didn't even make the list in this Drudge release.

What night is Drudge's program on? Oh, yeh....TONITE!!! Co-inki-dink?????

Viacom could always pull someone from their other channels:
