CBS Cancels Wednesday Edition of '60 Minutes'
.
NY TIMES May 18, 2005 By JACQUES STEINBERG

Eight months after broadcasting a report critical of President Bush that was later disavowed, CBS said today that it had canceled the Wednesday edition of "60 Minutes."

The announcement was made this morning by Leslie Moonves, the chairman of CBS, at a breakfast meeting with journalists in advance of a presentation later today to advertisers.

Already ranked among the lower-rated programs on television, the magazine program was further imperiled after it broadcast a report in September that purported to raise new questions about President Bush's Vietnam-era National Guard service. After initially defending the report, the network announced that it could no longer vouch for the documents on which it was based.

In the wake of that broadcast, the producer of the report, Mary Mapes, was fired, and the correspondent on it, Dan Rather, departed several months later as anchor of the "CBS Evening News." He now works full-time as a reporter on the Wednesday edition of "60 Minutes."

Now that the program has been canceled, Mr. Rather will probably be given a slot on the Sunday edition of "60 Minutes" through 2006, according to two people familiar with his contract.
