David Letterman will continue hosting his “Late Show” on CBS through August 2012 — and maybe longer. Mr. Letterman and CBS have worked out a new contract, though an announcement may not be made for several days.
Executives involved in the negotiations said on Tuesday that Mr. Letterman’s company, Worldwide Pants, and CBS have agreed on the details of the contract, including, for the first time, a reduced license fee for his 11:35 p.m. program, and are waiting for a “deal memo” that would lay out the terms in formal language.

More calls and emails need to be going out and to their sponsors.
He won’t lose the show but the network may save some money. *snicker*
What is this “CBS” you mention?
CBS to Letterman: Nice job with the Palin thingy.
Besides Wanda Sykes, who will be watching?
He is not funny and he is disgusting. But that is what too many in the US crave these days.
bad, bad, bad move CBS....Letterman has proven he is old, irrelevant, and just not entertaining anymore. His guests are rarely good or famous, as most of the famous people are in Hollywood, and don’t want to trek out to New York, so that is why Leno always seemed to get the “gets” on his show. And now Letterman has proven that he is a Perv, and advertiser poison.
I admit I used to be a fan. But after his harsh and unfair treatment of mcCain, and now Palin, and his absolute unnatural man-love for the Usurper, he has got to go.
CBS..... how long do you want to prove that you are a dinosaur? With Couric, and that freak Harry Smith on the morning show, and now Letterman? Do you actually ENJOY losing money? Seriously???
Ooh. Bad timing.
Ratings don’t matter when it comes to left-wing media outlets. See: MSNBC
I used to like him as well. I haven’t watched in quite awhile.
Depressingly bad and not funny anymore. Leno was much better at the end, and I used to think he sucked in the 90s.
Conan’s actually funny unlike Letterman.
I guess they want to keep his show swirling around in the toilet bowl for a few more years?
...but he hasn’t reach a deal with me to watch it.
I have to demand a hefty license fee to watch such boring and boorish behavior.
at this point I guess extending him through September and October of 2012 would violate McCain-Feingold....
I hope they keep him and both get what they deserve.
...but he hasn’t reach a deal with me to watch it.”
Exactly-——Except for the CSI shows, I am off the CBS channel.
letterman is a perverted filthy old man - hey maybe I should start a website and sell t-shirts and bumper stickers with that on it!
Let's "reduce" it further still.
Keep those phone calls and email coming to protest this sick pedophile. The only show Letterman belongs on is "To Catch a Predator".
CBS needs to fire his sorry butt for his lack of knowledge, sensibility and being very unfunny. CBS has real winners working at their stations: Dan Blather, Languid Letterman, etc.
