In today’s New York Times, Bill Carter lists all the decisions network news is stilll facing:
> “Who will anchor the ABC evening news after the death of Peter Jennings?
> “Who will eventually take over the CBS evening newscast, if CBS will even have a traditional anchor format on the program?”
> “Who will lead NBC News, which is still without a permanent president?”
> “Will the long-running ABC News program Nightline be able to survive with an ensemble anchor team replacing the program’s highly regarded anchor/patriarch, Ted Koppel?”
> “Will the evening newscasts at each network be regarded as lesser programs in comparison with the far more profitable morning news programs like Today and Good Morning America?”
