Dan Rather Reports for HDNet

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Dan Rather is back, and this time, he's in high def. Only three weeks after his bitter break with CBS, Mr. Rather and HDNet announced that he will produce and host a weekly news program, "Dan Rather Reports," beginning in October.


'This is journalism'
The hour-long "Dan Rather Reports" will feature uncensored news reports, interviews and investigative pieces. "This won't be the corporate news or short-segment news you find on broadcast or cable networks," Mark Cuban, HDNet co-founder, said in an e-mail. "This is journalism." Mr. Cuban and Mr. Rather discussed their joint venture at the Television Critics Association tour in Pasadena, Calif., Tuesday.
