CNBC's Topic A with Tina Brown has the first interview with Dan Rather following the cancellation of 60 Minutes Wednesday. It will air on Sunday night. Here is Rather's reaction to the cancellation:

"I'm disappointed because it is -- for what everyone thought of 60 Minutes Weekday [it] was another place where journalists were at least trying to deliver overall, in the main, integrity filled journalism that matters. Now there's one less place for that. And I'm disappointed about it...What I wanna do first is be concerned about the people who are at risk in losing their jobs. That's first and foremost. Secondly is to come up with a new primetime program...that we can convince those for whom we work: Give us a chance and we think we can do better ratings and better demographics."
