CBS News abruptly shutters Tokyo bureau to cut costs after over 50 years
in Japan
CBS News quietly shut down its Tokyo bureau this week â a desperate move
to slash costs that could crimp the networkâs coverage of China, The
Post has learned.
According to sources close to the situation, CBS News London bureau chief
Andrew Roy - who some at the network call "the hatchet" - flew to
Tokyo on Tuesday to fire the staff, ending the network presence in Japan
after more than half a century.
"It is not a big bureau but with everything going on in the region,
it's throwing up a white flag," a source close to the Tiffany Network
said. "Money is more important than covering a major part of the
world."

dannyb notes that if you really want to cry, chec out
episodes of "I Spy" (yes, we know... Cosby) and look
at the credits at the end. Take note of their call outs
for the help of the news bureaus in lots of non US locations..
