Where did Melissa go?, 5 April 2006
Author:

I have lost countless hours of sleep in the middle of the night,
waiting to hear Melissa McDermott on CBS UTTM... Meg Oliver is cool,
but not the same. I told CBS previously that she should take over the
post vacated by Dan Rather. Today, I hear that Katie Couric from NBC
got it. Fine; BUT WHERE IS MY FAVORITE JOURNALIST: Melissa McDermott?
She has disappeared from radar screens ......
I thought I liked Les Moonves; but he does not believe in promoting
from within. Even if the choice for the evening news was not Melissa,
the person should have been from CBS. I know that it is all
ratings-based ($$$$) but there is such a thing as company loyalty,
viewer loyalty and the like. I am 48 years old and a lifelong CBS
enthusiast and have consistently all my life promoted CBS News and
their entertainment programming to my friends and co-workers. I did it
WITHOUT being paid. Guess what? I am now going to watch Elizabeth
Vargas on ABC World News, and ALL of their other shows! (I don't have
cable)
