But Nightline is only 30 mins. Don't CBS & NBC claim that Dave & Jay always beat ABC over the whole hour?
Anyway, point is CBS are in the game at late night unlike the other day-ports. I wonder how CBS managed to blow the CBS Evening News over the years considering its history. Was there ever a book or documentary done on the CBS Evening News history? That could be interesting with Cronkite, Dan Rather, Connie Chung & Katie Couric. Lots of material there!
