Rather to Host ‘Fearless’ Show on HDNet
Three weeks after being let go by CBS, the former anchor has agreed to launch a program called “Dan Rather Presents” on HDNet, the high-definition channel owned by billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban. “We are excited about it,” Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, said yesterday. He described the show as “an opportunity to do news in what I like to call ‘fearless mode,’ what Dan calls ‘with guts.’ Go out there and find the stories we think will have impact.” He added: “Traditional broadcast and cable news is all about numbers. Get a pretty face, pay for it in the upfront,” the annual conference for advertisers. ” ‘How does MSNBC beat Fox?’ The lead story is never the reporting or news itself.” HDNet plans to roll out the Rather program in October.
