Stossel eyes Oprah's shoes
By Chris Pursell
HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - It appears that ABC's search for a replacement for Oprah Winfrey is finally over.
ABC News reporter and 20/20 staple John Stossel has been tapped as the heir apparent to the queen of talk. He is slated to get his own one-hour news-oriented syndicated format as early as fall 2001.
``Oprah'' producer King World's contract with the ABC-owned stations expires at the same time, and Stossel's show will likely fill the void left behind when the daytime diva's show moves to the CBS station group. King World was recently bought by CBS Corp.
Winfrey has also publicly considered retiring from the syndication game to move onto other projects. King World executives had no comment.
