Some news-business Web sites have even been running reader polls to see who should fill the job.

But insiders inside and outside the station are saying that the 46-year-old Hsu is the front-runner.

“The place is getting flooded with tapes and resumés frim out of town,” says one CBS employee. “But everyone thinks the job will get filled from the inside,”

Hsu declined comment when reached over the weekend and Ch. 2 ix remaining mum.

A poll by the New York media Web site Fisbowl yesterday named anchorman Chris Wragge as the popular choice.

But a clause Wragge’s contract requires the station to use him in prime time — and he would be unlikely to go to mornings without being bought out.

Giving Hsu Morrison’s old job would create a two-woman anchor team in the morning, something that CBS traditionally does not like to do.

But, as one TV news professional put it, “Times are changing and two women is hardly as shocking as it once was.”
