NEW YORK, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- CBS is adding yet another CNN correspondent to its U.S. lineup, picking up Dr. Sanjay Gupta to add medical reports to the "CBS Evening News."
Gupta will continue doing most of his reporting on CNN.
The move comes just one week after CBS debuted CNN's Anderson Cooper on "60 Minutes," the New York Daily News reported Friday.
Gupta is already CNN's chief medical correspondent, having covered the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, the effects of Hurricane Katrina and the tsunami in South Asia.
The doctor also hosts CNN's "House Calls," contributes stories to CNN.com, writes a column for Time magazine and is a practicing neurosurgeon at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.
Gupta is set to do around 10 pieces a year for the "CBS Evening News," as part of the networks beefed up medical coverage, said Sean McManus, president of CBS News and Sports.
"It was an obvious area where we could increase air time," McManus said.
