Katie Couric

Um, I suppose that might be for the (potential) depth of a story that is not on the internet or the TV.

Two screens or Two minutes hardly convey the essense of any news I might be interested in. Alas, most newspapers don't do much better, but that's the advantage that remains exclusive to the oldfashioned newspaper.

And I'm sure Katie would be crushed to discover that 7 people posting on LoT don't like her. Not exactly going to put a dent in her massive popularity. She happens to be good, and apparently quite appealing, at what she does. I predict ratings for the Today Show will take a steep dive.

I don't see her star rising any further from the nightly news gig. No one will be watching. But, after 15 years, it's probably nice to stop getting up at 4:30 a.m. (since the same multi-million dollar paycheck will be hers for more human working hours).

Don't know about The Today Show, but her ratings took a massive nose dive after the original curiousity. After a huge start, apparently no one was that impressed and CBS was again dead last by Friday of last week, continuing inot this week.

Now I will say that isn't a very fair analysis, but it doesn't look like the name Katie Couric itself will generate the ratings CBS wants. I'll be curious to see where she's at in two months.
