CBS LOOKING TO PIN DOWN ROGAN

Betting podcast powerhouse will strengthen sagging 60 Minutes

- 

REELING CBS News is looking to muscle up its 60 Minutes team by replacing silver fox Anderson Cooper with pumpedup conservative podcast powerhouse Joe Rogan, sources say.

The blockbuster move, first reported in National ENQUIRER columnist Rob Shuter's Substack newsletter, is setting off panic and power plays up and down network corridors.

"This isn't stunt casting," a television industry insider tells The ENQUIRER. "It's strategy. Rogan opens a direct pipeline to the massive MAGA audience CBS has struggled to reach for years." Rogan, 58, reportedly boasts a staggering 11 million listeners a day and his show, The Joe Rogan Experience, recently expanded its reach by adding the podcast to Apple and other platforms.
