NEW YORK (AP) - His smile is as wide as the Amazon when Charles Gibson is asked simply whether he's having fun. "I'm having a great time," said Gibson, marking one year as ABC's "World News" anchor this week. "I'm loving it. I really love doing this." ABC News loves having him.
Gibson is thriving at a job he thought he'd never have, at a time he thought he'd be retiring. "World News" has swept past NBC's longtime leader "Nightly News" in the ratings this year, winning 11 of the past 15 weeks in a turnabout so sudden it took even Gibson's bosses by surprise.
The evening news may no longer be what it once was, but it's still a network news division's flagship. First place is a valuable point of pride.
