Koppel to “This Week?”

By Matt Dornic on January 7, 2010 11:04 AM

Yesterday, Hotline reported that Ted Koppel appears to be ABC’s front-runner in the race for George Stephanopoulos‘ post at “This Week.”

Politico fueled that speculation today, reporting that Koppel is in negotiations for a $1 million-a-year contract to anchor “This Week” three Sundays a month.

UPDATE: ABC News says that any reports of contract negotiations between Ted Koppel and the network are absolutely inaccurate. See our updated post here for more info
