Kaplan To CBS: “Homecoming Of Sorts”

For Rick Kaplan, “the job would be a homecoming of sorts,” CBSNews.com says. “He worked at CBS for a decade early in his career, including a period as an associate producer for the CBS Evening News when Walter Cronkite ruled the airwaves as the ‘most trusted man in America.'”

> Also: “Kaplan and Couric have been under the same corporate tent before: Kaplan was president of MSNBC for a two and a half year period ending last June, while Couric co-anchored NBC’s Today Show with Matt Lauer and was a contributing anchor for Dateline NBC.”
