March 1, 2010 Anderson Cooper Said to Meet With CBS News Executives By BRIAN STELTER
Do CBS News executives have their sights set on Anderson Cooper?
Mr. Cooper, a prime time CNN anchor, already contributes to 60 Minutes, the prestigious CBS newsmagazine. And the relationship could expand. Mondays New York Times reports:
CBS executives, mindful that Katie Courics contract expires in a little over a year, have talked to Anderson Cooper of CNN about an anchor job, according to two TV veterans informed of the meeting.
The meeting took place months ago, well before Mr. Cooper was dispatched to cover the devastating earthquake in Haiti in January.
The silver-haired Mr. Cooper has worked at CNN since 2001, and has anchored the channels 10 and 11 p.m. hours since 2005.
It is unclear whether Mr. Cooper was (or is) being considered by CBS executives as a replacement for Ms. Couric, the anchor of the CBS Evening News. Her five-year contract ends in mid-2011.

Cooper’s show has the lowest rating (behind Campbell Brown and Joy Behar). CBS must like continuity in hiring losers.
Bizarre. Completely bizarre.
According to a story a few months ago, Couric thinks that she will be the next Oprah so she will probably leave after they give her the OK.
I hope any new show that she might be on sucks as well as The CBS Evening News does. She deserves nothing else.
More recycling of morons. Musical chairs that nobody ever wins.
They can keep this stuff up, but things will never inprove for them until they switch from propaganda for the WH and go back into journalism.
You so bad.
“Countdown to Cooper” replacing “Countdown to Couric.”
Let’s not criticize the Leftist propaganda arm for potentially making such an obvious mistake. Let’s support them in this decision because it will drive viewership down even further. Any self-destructive decision the Left makes should be encouraged by the people on the right and then promptly ignore them.
“Cooper...while on TV...could NOT find the state of Indiana on a map of the USA!!”
While the Left might have more charisma and charm and think they know everything it becomes pretty obvious over time they don’t know jack. (No offense to all the Jacks out there. LOL!)
the skipper? more like gilligan!
Well, it comes close.

Hmmm, maybe Katie’s going to get Desiree Rogers (sp) gig?
Interesting. I guess he doesn’t want to be seen at all. Nobody watches CBS news. But people DO turn on CNN from time to time.
Gay replaces fey?
But now that you've replied to my post I now have proof that my audience is almost as big as Anderson Cooper's. ;^)
They wouldn’t want to lose their designation.... C-BS.
