Link: CBS Said to Consider Use of CNN in Reporting
CBS, the home of the most storied news division in broadcasting, has been in discussions with Time Warner about a deal to outsource some of its newsgathering operations to CNN, two executives briefed on the matter said Monday.Broadly speaking, the executives described conversations about reducing CBS’s newsgathering capacity while keeping its frontline personalities, like Katie Couric, the CBS Evening News anchor, and paying a fee to CNN to buy the cable network’s news feeds.
Another possibility, these people said, would be that CBS would keep its correspondents in a certain region but pair them with CNN crews.
Taking all bets that “certain regions” will include such world hotspots as London, Paris and New York, while “not certain regions” will be roughly congruent with Iraq and Afghanistan.
