Couric To CBS: “We Are Going To Be #1 At CBS News,” McManus Says, “…And This Is An Important Step”

“Having Katie Couric come to CBS News is going to the same kind of game-changing event that getting the NFL to CBS was nine years ago,” Sean McManus said in a newsroom “pep rally” today. Drudge posted a link to the video, but it’s no longer working.

McManus continued: “The other thing this does is it really signifies to the entire world…that we are committed to being #1. We are committed to doing what it takes to be #1, whether it’s on the Evening News, whether it’s on 60 Minutes, whether it’s on our convention coverage or our election coverage… We are going to be #1 at CBS News. This is an important step, it’s not the only step, but it’s an important step in that process.”
