While I'm most likely to watch Brian Williams I'm
not overly impressed with any of the network
anchors at present. I will say, though, in fairness
to Katie, that I think she shed the "cutesy" image
with her interview with Sarah Palin. Also, many
people praise CBS for having more hard news and
fewer extended feature stories than ABC or NBC.
Of course, the only problem is that none of this
is reflected in CBS's ratings; Katie's still third, and,
if anything, Diane Sawyer has, at times, reduced
Brian Williams' lead to a million homes or less (what
happens when so many ABC affiliates lose Oprah as
lead-in to their local news which leads into the national
news is another story).
But I don't think CBS is going to turn loose of Katie.
Now, of course, if Les Moonves hollered loudly enough,
Julie Chen would probably replace her in a minute... :
