CBS SHAKEOUT...MOST OBNOXIOUS ANCHOR - ERICA HILL IS IN- HARRY SMITH OUT

Erica Hill's star is rising fast at CBS. In an overhaul of the anchor team at The Early Show, which has been trailing the morning program competition, co-anchors Harry Smith and Maggie Rodriguez and weather anchor Dave Price are out. Hill, who joined The Early Show 10 months ago as news anchor of the weekday program and co-anchor of the weekend edition with Chris Wragge, will now co-anchor the weekdayEarly Show along with Wragge. Marysol Castro, formerly of ABC's Good Morning America weekend edition, has been tapped as the new weather anchor, while Jeff Glor will serve as news anchor. The changes will go in effect on Jan. 3. "The Early Show is an important element of CBS News," CBS News and Sports president McManus said. "We constantly focus on how to improve the broadcast, and we think we have a terrific combination in Erica, Chris, Jeff and Marysol." According to CBS News' release, Smith and Price, who had been anchoring The Early Showsince 2002, and Rodriguez, who replaced Hannah Storm in 2008, will stay with CBS News in a different capacities.

60 MILLION OVER THREE YEARS FOR RYAN

LOS ANGELES — Clear Channel Communications is expected to announce on Tuesday that it has signed Ryan Seacrest to an expanded radio deal worth $60 million over three years, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

There has been speculation in the media industry about whether Mr. Seacrest, 35, would scale back his commitment to the radio giant when his old contract expired at the end of the year. In addition to hosting three top-rated radio programs for Clear Channel, Mr. Seacrest hosts“American Idol” for Fox, appears on a daily news program on E! and produces reality shows like “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”

When two brilliant minds collide! Now pathetic Dan Saltzman and Stumptown's all time lowest rated Mayor say it is time to re join. THEY ARE BRILLIANT I TELL YOU...BRILLIANT!!!!!!

 

“I think enough time has passed and there have been enough changes, it’s really important that we check in,” Adams said.
