It's oh so quiet. Assuming that Neal Shapiro is indeed on the way out, who will take his place? Here's some speculation, from the tip box and elsewhere:

> A few weeks ago Phil Griffin was named Executive in Charge of 'Today.' Was it a temporary move, designed to put Griffin in line for Shapiro's job?

> MSNBC prez Rick Kaplan was always said to be ready to take over for Shapiro...

> A tipster suggests this move: "Zucker 'voluntarily' steps down to take over news, to 'help' his good buddy Bob Wright, and Scott Sassa takes Zucker's job."

> How about Cheryl Gould, who worked under Andy Lack before being sent to CNBC?

> Was Richard Leibner really making phone calls yesterday telling people that he was wrong: Henry Schleiff WASN'T in the running?

> Drudge said Steve Capus would take over, but NBC denied it, and FTVLive says Capus is replacing Bill Wheatley as VP. "Drudge had a bad source," Capus told colleagues today...
