Gupta Getting Plenty of Offers; Staying Put at CNN
In an article in the DC Post, CNN Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta says despite several offers from broadcast networks, he's staying put at CNN. Below is an excerpt from the article by Howard Kurtz:"But five years after CNN hired him as a medical correspondent with no previous TV experience, Gupta had full-time job offers from several broadcast networks. He signed a part-time deal this month with CBS News while remaining at CNN."
"When CBS News President Sean McManus learned that Gupta was not willing to leave CNN, he worked out a sharing arrangement, similar to one in which CNN's Anderson Cooper contributes to "60 Minutes." Gupta says that he is eager to reach a wider audience but that his seduction by the bright lights will go only so far."
