John Eggerton blogs: “I don’t know what the new Nightline will become, but it is clear that the Nightline I’ve known and loved and taken for granted for years is going away.
That show, which put the news of the day in context or advanced it thanks to the best interviewer of his generation, or probably any other, is being replaced by a multi-anchor news show, softer, more New York, more L.A., and younger skewing.
Gotta get those demos, those dollars. But at what price?”
> Gawker’s POV: “You know what Nightline is missing? Idiots with cardboard signs outside the studio. Thankfully, once Koppel’s outta there, that’s what it’ll be getting.”
