By Brian 

Highlights from Sean McManus‘s chat with reporters at the Television Critics Association session in Pasadena, via the AP:

> “The new top anchor for CBS News will likely be someone who doesn’t work there now,” David Bauder writes.

> McManus “said he was looking for a single anchor for the evening news…and wanted a high-profile person with ‘a wealth of experience and credibility covering the news’ at one of the Big Three broadcast networks.”

> “In the coming months, he will be making changes designed to give the network’s correspondents a higher profile.”

> He wouldn’t talk about Katie Couric
