When Rick Kaplan makes his exit from The Early Show on Friday, who’s going to replace him? One name being floated to us is Tom Cibrowski, the Good Morning America exec producer. We’re told his contract is up this summer and won’t be renewed; perhaps because “he is only allowed in the control room two days a week due to his temper”?

Another possibility is Zev Shalev, a Shelley Ross hire from Canada. He’s a senior producer at TES right now. One of many. Snipes one source: “He has NO news background, certainly not recently. And the trio – Paul Friedman, Barbara Feddida, and Sean McManus – are simply looking for quick answers.”
