| Katie Coric's contract is ending. How does "The CBS Evening News with Keith Olbermann" sound ? |

| 2. 'Sounds' fine, but he's not a news reader, he's a journalist/commentator. |

| 4. Sounds impossible because of the non-compete clause in KO's agreement w/ MSNBC |
|
I don't know that I'd like him delivering the news as a straight anchor, anyway.

| 8. Non competes are, generally speaking, not enforceable |
|
Edited on Sat Jan-22-11 12:07 AM by lapfog_1
and, since it sounds like MSNBC breached the contract anyway, null and void in this case.
I know, I was subject to one for supposedly 3 years, went to work for a competitor within 6 months after terminating the contract early, they didn't even try to sue me to stop the employment.

| 10. IMO it isn't simply because.... |
|
1.) He'd only be on for 30 minutes
2.) He'd only be a teleprompter reading robot reporting the cherry-picked stories
3.) CBS couldn't handle the heat Keith would bring into their kitchen! :nuke: LOL!
KA-BOOM!!

| 11. I sincerely doubt that will happen |
|
Look at the lengths they went to in order to rid themselves of the last anchor with any journalistic integrity, Dan Rather.
While I doubt they'll renew Couric except as a co anchor, they'll want some bland male who will lie for the corporation.
