<p> CHANNEL HOPPING? Ted Koppel's contract with ABC expires at
the end of this year, and colleagues say he is being wooed
mightily by CBS to replace Dan Rather. Koppel is very close to
CBS News President David Burke, a former ABC executive who
helped negotiate his current lucrative contract. CBS would be
willing to tailor its evening news to Koppel's on-camera
strengths, emphasizing interviews over canned news items--a
change that would set CBS's offering apart from its rivals'.
Koppel has never craved an evening anchor post, but the chance
to re-invent the format could prove irresistible. A spokeswoman
says, "No one but Ted and his wife knows what his plans are
when his contract expires."
