number talk
There are a number of different timetables. We have them, but I just can't, at the moment, talk about them.
best bob broadcast built carry cbs colleagues commitment continue continuing deepest evening forward goal highest ingredient joining katie key legacy news number offer producers producing proud quality role signifies strong team television thanks towards work writers
This is an enormously proud day for all of us at CBS News. Katie joining our team signifies not only her commitment to doing first-rate journalism, but our strong commitment to producing the highest quality work done by the best reporters, producers and writers in television news. She is a key ingredient as we work towards our goal of making CBS News the number one news organization in America. This organization was built on quality and integrity, and Katie and her CBS News colleagues will continue to carry that legacy into the 21st century. I would also like to offer our deepest thanks to Bob Schieffer for his outstanding work on the evening broadcast and look forward to his continuing role at CBS News.
experience few number people profile relatively small
All I can say is that it's relatively few (candidates), just because there are relatively few people out there that have the profile and the reputations and the experience to do the job. So,de facto, it's a very, very small number of people.
cbs eight sports
I think we can invigorate the place, just like we did at CBS Sports eight years ago,

Jim, Lara and Byron are three of the most dedicated reporters and skilled storytellers in the business. These high-profile assignments signal the depth of our commitment to covering Washington, international news and the national scene.

I would much rather take a little extra time to make sure we do it right,

People of that age simply don't watch TV (news) or get their news in that way.
amount anchor cbs comparison direct effect money news pay resources spend
The amount of money that we pay to the anchor will not have any effect on the amount of money we spend on other resources. There is not a direct comparison between how much money we pay an anchor person or a correspondent of CBS News and our resources around the world.
acquire spend whatever
We can spend whatever we want to acquire rights. But at a minimum, we have to make $1 on the deal.
sports successful
For us, sports is a very challenging but successful business.
best brown business cbs favorite improves james priority remains return sports studio talent team terms top viewer
Having a roster of the best on-air talent in the business remains a top priority at CBS Sports. James Brown is a viewer favorite in terms of knowledge, credibility and likeability. His return to CBS Sports improves the team in the studio and in the field.
enjoy feeling fox gotten guys lined months nbc next process relaxation six sports television watching year
I always enjoy watching the machinations of the television sports industry. But I do it with a feeling of relaxation because we have gotten our guys lined up for the next six years. We went through the same process NBC and FOX are still going through, only we did it six months to a year ago.
bob discussion
If Bob wanted to do this, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion right now.
appreciate bob giving improved people reason starting
Bob Schieffer is having a resurgence. Bob is respected. He's trusted, and he's very, very comfortable giving the news. People are starting to appreciate that, and that's part of the reason for our improved numbers.
