Part one of CBS' TCA session:
- Katie Couric isn't leaving The CBS Evening News. And the viewers aren't going to be watching her, either.
- CBS news executives talked about the presidential campaign and Obama's first trip overseas and the fact conservative critics could be chirping because a similar trip by John McCain in March didn't nearly gather much attention.
- An executive session with CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler, and she dishes out about Swingtown, Chicago native William Petersen exiting CSI after the season's tenth episode, and Moonlight (still?) She assured fans that there is no overhaul of The Price Is Right, unfortuantely meaning that Bob Barker won't come back.
- Panels were abound for many news CBS series, including The Ex List, and Worst Week - none of them particuarly interesting to mention here.
Other news:
