CBS announced today that 60 Minutes II is going to be canceled. Does this mean that Dan Rather is out as well? Back in January of this year Jeff Jarvis speculated that Dan's remaining time at CBS would be short-lived. Jeff picked up on a quote by Les Moonves from a NY Times interview

Leslie Moonves, the chairman of CBS and co-president of the network's parent company, Viacom, said in a telephone interview that Mr. Rather was expected to continue his career at CBS on the Wednesday edition of "60 Minutes" after he steps down as the network's primary anchor in March. But Mr. Moonves added the phrase, "provided the show continues."

The show does not continue.

Update: Jeff says Dan dodged a bullet
