Insiders suggest Katie Couric for Anderson Cooper trade

Katie Couric for Anderson Cooper?
A blockbuster trade of TV superstars was floated Friday by TV insiders as a solution to CBS' Couric problem.
Cooper, CNN's prematurely gray prince of cable TV, would replace Couric as the anchor of CBS' "Evening News." He already is a contributor to CBS' "60 Minutes," they said.
And CNN will eventually need to replace the iconic Larry King, who is 74.
Why not Couric, who remains a marquee talent despite being a $75 million flop for CBS, the insiders said.
"Take Katie off the 'Evening News,' let her do Larry King, and then let Cooper anchor," one network source said.
Couric, 51, has said only that she was "working hard and having fun" since word broke this week that she was heading for a humiliating exit after just 18 months as anchor.
During her tenure, CBS has been mired in third place in the ratings and, as a result, cost the network millions in lost revenue.

Only a Major TV Network like CBS would spend $15M on a liberal air-head like Couric because of her grin -- and then trade her for a silver haired liberal air-head like Cooper. Great Britain doesn't do a heck of a lot of things better'n we do, but they sure do the evening news better. The presenters are called 'news readers' (accurately) and are not treated like celebs or paid like stars. They are simply 'new-readers' on the evening news!

How many Americans really give a damn whether their uber-liberal evening news reader is Cooper, Couric, Rather or Gibson. They all come out of the same factories!! Matter of fact -- how many Americans watch abc,nbc,or cbs (sic) evening news at all anymore now that there is cable news and the Internet?
