CBS Evening News executive producer Rick Kaplan announced in an afternoon meeting that Thursday would be his last day with the broadcast and with CBS News, departing even before the show's anchor, Katie Couric. NYT / Media Decoder: Kaplan rejoined CBS four years ago to run Couric's newscast. He had first worked there in the 1970s when Walter Cronkite was the Evening News anchor. He spent most of the 1980s and 1990s in senior producer positions at ABC News, and later became the president of both CNN/U.S. (from 1997-2000) and MSNBC (from 2004-2006).
