PEOPLE, Page 70Prime-Time Power Switch
Would she or wouldn't she? After much waffling, 60 Minutes'
Diane Sawyer finally signed off as a CBS News correspondent and
segued to rival ABC last week. She was apparently upset, among
other things, at not getting her own interview-style news program.
ABC wooed and won her by promising just that, a new prime-time show
she will co-anchor with Sam Donaldson. Says Donaldson of the
prospective partnership: "The only way it will work is if the
co-anchors are together in word, deed and spirit, like a marriage
-- and not a shotgun marriage either." Sawyer will receive a salary
of $1.5 million at ABC, up from $1.2 million. But even that will
not make her ABC's highest-paid newswoman. That honor still belongs
to 20/20's Barbara Walters.
