The TV Zone

Hannah Storm's replacement is in the building: CBS just named Maggie Rodriguez, "Early Show's" Saturday co-anchor, as the new weekday co. Which means...what for Hannah? A spokeswoman said no word on how much longer she'll be on the air, but Rodriguez starts Jan. 7, so the game of musical chairs certainly has to end by that time. What's important about that date? It's when "Early" goes to something called "full national format," meaning stations will air both hours (many now air only the first hour.) Maggie? She is a recent convert to the network, based at its owned station in Miami since 2000. Meanwhile, Hannah probably did say goodbye this morning in this interesting blog posting. Interesting: Because I don't think an anchor ever said goodbye in quite the same way. Reminded me, too, of why I always liked Hannah. An elegant farewell.
