 NEW YORK (AP) - Faced with the need to replace Ed Bradley in the middle of the TV season, "60 Minutes" won't even bother. His workload will be spread around, and, in a unique arrangement for the CBS newsmagazine, his top producer will run a reporting unit for stories available to all on-air correspondents.
"It's a long-term project to find the next full-time person who can show the abilities that are expected of a `60 Minutes' correspondent," said Jeff Fager, the show's executive producer.
Even before Bradley's death on Nov. 9, it was a transition year for TV's longest-running newsmagazine. Mike Wallace has retired, Morley Safer has cut back his hours and Dan Rather is gone. Katie Couric and Anderson Cooper are new contributors.
