CBS chairman Les Moonves has some ideas in mind for the networks´ evening news format after Dan Rather declared he was to leave the anchor desk. A full scale evening news overhaul with a multi-anchor, perhaps multi-city format could be the result.
Also, to regain young viewers from the internet being turned off by the old-pattern single "voice of God" anchor, a fresh format and fresh faces seems to be the solution. One of these faces could be Comedy Central´s Jon Stewart.
Moonves explicitly didn´t rule out the "Daily Show" anchor as possible candidate. The CBS chief is also co-chairman of Viacom, which owns Comedy Central as well as CBS.
