anyone cbs difficult head longer mutual news people year
This has been a very difficult year for CBS News, for Andrew, for other people in CBS News. I think it was a mutual decision. Andrew's been head of CBS News for a long time, longer than anyone else in many years. It was just time.

We're coming here with a pretty historic announcement.

If we opened up to non-O&Os (owned and operated stations), the deal would have been much more complicated.
seemed shot
God, it seemed like we had shot somebody.
