'60 Minutes Wednesday' May Not Survive

The New York Times reports that CBS's "60 Minutes Wednesday," the program that broadcast the Rathergate story may not survive:

Leslie Moonves, the chairman of CBS and co-president of the network's parent company, Viacom, said in a telephone interview that Mr. Rather was expected to continue his career at CBS on the Wednesday edition of "60 Minutes" after he steps down as the network's primary anchor in March. But Mr. Moonves added the phrase, "provided the show continues."

The program is guaranteed to be on the air through May, when the current television season ends, Mr. Moonves said, but "they are not exactly tearing it up in the ratings over there."

All I have to say is good riddance.
