Schedule hints Jennings staying
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Peter Jennings has lined up a busy schedule at ABC News this September — an indication that a new contract for the anchor is either imminent or already agreed to.
ABC wasn't commenting Sunday on a report on Matt Drudge's Internet site that Jennings had reached a new deal.
Both Jennings and the network have traditionally talked little publicly about contracts.
"ABC executives have repeatedly said they have every hope and expectation that Peter will remain the anchor for many years to come." ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said Sunday.
Jennings and ABC News President David Weston scheduled a
news conference for Monday to talk about a six-part series Jennings is anchoring next month based on a book he co-authored, "In Search of America."
Jennings will also be the network's chief anchor for nearly a full day of coverage to mark the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
His current contract reportedly will have expired by then and his schedule is a solid indication that he has either signed or agreed to a new one privately, or negotiations are going smoothly.
There were reports this spring that financially strapped ABC would ask Jennings to take a pay cut, but there has been no such talk since then.
Jennings, 63, has been ABC News' top anchor since the early

Brokaw announced this spring that he would step down as evening news anchor after the 2004 elections, to be replaced by Brian Williams. Rather has not said publicly when he plans to step down.
