It's official...Couric leaving CBS Evening News

"I am excited about the future... I am looking at a format that will allow me to engage in more multi-dimensional storytelling..."

She's joining NPR, isn't she? ::)
 
She's definitely joining the talk show ranks. Not only do you have the end of Oprah Winfrey's show at play, but there might be a few more openings/shakeups in daytime TV.
 
Now who will get the hot seat on The CBS Evening News?

I have two picks, Anderson Cooper (he already helps with 60 Minutes)
or someone already working with CBS News

That person already working with CBS News is strongly rumored to be Scott Pelley. BTW, no mention of her departure by Couric this evening on the newscast. Perhaps her first day in London for the wedding was not the time or place.

Although right now I think Ellen DeGeneres is an excellent position to become the number-one daytime talk show, with Oprah's show ending and Regis announcing his retirement.

Somebody made a joke about Katie going to NPR. Why not, if they'd have her?

Anderson Cooper --> Talk show.
 
I think Harry Smith will eventually get the job over Russ Mitchell or Scott Pelley. Harry has got more than experience than those other two. Nowadays, people go online for National News, and Cable Channels (Like CNN, FOX, or msnbc) have really gotten the edge over The Big Three.

I have not seen this Russ Mitchell story anywhere. Are you speculating, or do you have inside info?
 
Certainly putting perky Katie Couric in the big seat has done nothing to reverse the declining numbers at CBS. And I think putting Dianne Sawyer on ABC reeks of female pandering. She's even worse than Couric. This isn't mysogny on my part. I just think there are better female anchor potentials out there.
