Are CBS Affils Upset With Couric’s Numbers? “I’ve Heard Nothing,” McManus Says

At the “annual gathering of the CBS network’s executives and affiliates Wednesday and Thursday at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas:” “There will be an announcement about summer plans for The Early Show and discussions of the continuing transition at 60 Minutes, the state of The CBS Evening News and plans for further promotional affiliate visits by Evening News anchor Katie Couric,” TV Week reports.

Sean McManus says the affiliates are not being impatient with Couric’s progress: “I’ve heard nothing from any affiliate at all about disappointment in the numbers. They like the show now.” (Via NewsLab)
