CONFIRMED: Rather Out at 60M; End of CBS Carrer Near for Legendary Anchor/Reporter


http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/14/AR2006061402394.html

The Washington Post is reporting Dan Rather is indeed out at 60 Minutes, effectively ending the 44-year career of the legendary journalist at CBS. Sources close to CBS Executives say that both parties are working on a "dignified exit" for the former anchor of the CBS Evening News.

Rather, whose contract expires at the end of the year, could be gone well before that. What remains to be seen is if any cable news channel will express interest in the greying newsman. The full story can be accessed at the link above.

Rather's contract is up in August. It seems Rather is unavailable for comment, while CBS won't confirm whether or not the legendary anchor and reporter will sign on again.
The New York Post has more on this developing story.
More as it develops.
