Ted Koppel To Return To ABC?
Filed under: TV News
Former Nightline anchor Ted Koppel may be returning to ABC to take over This Week, the Sunday morning show that was once helmed by George Stephanopoulous who has moved on to Good Morning America.
Still in negotiations, it was once reported that ABC offered Koppel a salary of $1 million to take the job.
There are also two internal candidates that could possibly be up for the job including Nightline co-anchor Terry Moran and White House correspondent Jake Tapper.
No offense to 69-year-old and seasoned Ted, but we'd prefer hottie Jake Tapper!
Out with the old and in with the new!

Artie Released!
Really? thats all they get is $1mil? I thought news legends made way more.
I say go with Ted (not Terry at all).
I still miss Sam and Cokie.
Jake Tapper's been GREAT. I actually LIKE watching the show now.
Seriously, they can find anyone else? He was brilliant in his day but c'mon
He must have some new secret memo's from when Obama was a.w.o.l. from the peace corps.
Ted Is awesome!
Ted will be awesome.
That can't possibly be right. 1 million is nothing for that kind of show. Or that kind of name. Seems like it ought to be at least 3 to 5.
I'd say the offer well tops 'what was once reported.'
