TV news questions that burn like a urinary tract infection
 

Now that the question of Andrew Heyward's replacement at CBS News has been answered (read: Sean McManus), we've got a couple more serious issues to address in the TV news business. Luckily, the New York Times created this handy pull-out guide that we're guessing is also available as a wallet-sized laminated card.

¶Who will anchor the ABC evening news after the death of Peter Jennings?

¶Who will eventually take over the CBS evening newscast, if CBS will even have a traditional anchor format on the program?

¶Who will lead NBC News, which is still without a permanent president?

¶Will the long-running ABC News program "Nightline" be able to survive with an ensemble anchor team replacing the program's highly regarded anchor/patriarch, Ted Koppel?

¶Will the evening newscasts at each network be regarded as lesser programs in comparison with the far more profitable morning news programs like "Today" and "Good Morning America"?

And, most importantly, now that Mark McGrath is in his 16th minute as an Extra host, how's he going to top himself?
