“Unfortunately, we can’t keep everybody,” 60 Mins EP Jeff Fager tells Michele Greppi. It’s clear that some 60 Minutes Wednesday will be let go, but who? How many? When? “Fager declined to address questions of which ‘Wednesday’ personnel might be assigned to ’60 Minutes,’ other than to say that much of what has been written on that subject is wrong.” Hmmm…
Andrew Heyward says “what we’re going to try to do is keep as many people as possible here gainfully employed. That process is going to take a while. These are CBS staff employees, most of whom are under contract.” It will be done on a person-by-person basis: “This is not going to be done in any cavalier, by-the-numbers way,” he added.
