NEW YORK, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Diane Sawyer is to take over retiring anchor Charles Gibson's post on the ABC Evening News in January, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday.
"It has not been an easy decision to make," Gibson, 66, told staffers in an e-mail. "This has been my professional home for almost 35 years. And I love this news department, and all who work in it, to the depths of my soul."
