Katie Couric of CBS Evening news is rumored to be leaving. According to Associated Press her contract will expire on June 4. The network has some other people in mind for replacements such as Harry Smith, Russ Mitchell and Scott Pelley. In less than five years Couric became the first sole women to anchor a network evening newscast.
Reports are also saying that Couric will be doing a syndicated talk show in 2012 and that she would continue as temporary host or an evening host while CBS searches for a new one.
CNN reported “Other companies seeking to secure her for the syndicated show include NBC, her former home while she worked on "Today," and Telepictures, which is the producer of "Ellen" and a new program from Anderson Cooper, slated for a fall debut”.
This is important to anybody who reads or watches the news. Katie Couric has accomplished so much in her career I am wondering what women or other anchor would be replacing her. If she does have an syndicated talk show I also and excited to hear what topics she will discuss and how many listens will she pull.
