NBC Compares ‘World News’ To New Coke

By Brian on July 24, 2006 1:30 AM

So World News Tonight is now World News. Could CBS and NBC “take ‘Evening’ and ‘Nightly’ out of their respective titles?” Michele Greppi asked, and “the response was, in a word, ‘no.’”

Said Sean McManus: “CBS Evening News’ is one of the great brands in the entire industry, and we have no plans to change it.”

And said an NBC spokesperson: “Alert the media — they’ve come up with the secret formula. It’s called New Coke.”
