Certainly not unexpected news, but I had hoped he might stay on at ABC, or turn up as Stephanopoulus' replacement on "This Week". Given the way ABC treated him over the last 2 years, it's no surprise he wants to leave altogether.
I hope he shows up somewhere. He's one of the best interviewers out there. At 65, he may be a little long in the tooth to take over at CBS (not that Bob Schieffer is any spring chicken), but I think any network would be lucky to have him.
