Kaplan in at 'CBS Evening News'


March 08, 2007 Rick Kaplan, the legendary producer and former president of CNN and MSNBC, will be named executive producer of the "CBS Evening News With Katie Couric." The broadcast's third-place ranking in the ratings was a major factor in the decision, and the network wants a harder-edged, faster-paced newscast than has been seen in the six months since Couric took to the air. Kaplan was executive producer of ABC's "World News Tonight With Peter Jennings" beginning in 1994 after creating and executive producing "Primetime Live" from 1989-94 and stints as executive producer of "Nightline," "World News This Morning" and "Good Morning America."
