I listened to the whole 10 minutes of the Glenn's last round-up this morning.
Charles Osgoods' tribute was great. Basically the same tribute had been distrubted to CBS Affiliates yesterday - here is a link to an .mp3 of the distributed tribute:

And here is the version of the tribute that Osgood did live on the last Round-Up:

Question - how long has it been since Glenn had to say "Six Minutes Past The Hour"? Right now there is a "Four Minutes Past" opt out, a "Five Minutes Past" opt out, and an "Eight Minutes Past" opt out.
Also - here is a cbsnews.com article on Glenn's retirement:

Don't forget that Glenn's two-minute "Whats In The News" feature that is distributed to CBS News Affiliates is also podcasted on cbsnews.com. They have an archive of the last two months or so of "Whats In The News" pieces available for download. Caution, some of them are anchored by Nick Young, Bill Whitney, or Steve Kathan, as Glenn has taken a lot of days off the last two months.
Be sure to listen to the one for 2/23 - Steve Kathan does a tribute to Glenn.

They don't seem to have the CBS Evening News clip of Glenn doing the last newscast available on their website... thats too bad - it was a nice 90 second piece that ran today.
Finally, at both 3PM Pacific, and on the RoundUp Late Edition, anchors Peter King (3PM) and Dave Barrett (RoundUp) paid tribute to Glenn. King said something about following in the footsteps of Glenn covering space, and Barrett played Glenn's last sign off just before he had to say "You're Listening to the CBS World News RoundUp" at 5 past.
