Ebert follows Roeper out door at Disney-ABC | ajc.com: "Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert says he's cutting ties with the television show that he and the late Gene Siskel made famous.

In an e-mail on Monday, Ebert said Disney-ABC Domestic Television had decided to take the show 'in a new direction,' and he won't be associated with it.

His announcement came a day after Chicago Sun-Times columnist Richard Roeper said he was leaving the nationally syndicated 'At the Movies With Ebert & Roeper.'"
