they'll ride it out

they paid her too much money and they don't have a better idea

the big 3 newscasts will continue to slide into oblivion no matter what they try

yeah they will keep her. they paid her way to much to let her go now.

i agree with fobot. the big 3 newshows will die soon. the only postive thing any of them have done was "to catch a predator" and then they beat that like a dead horse.

Who watches the evening news anyway? When I have TV, I only watch the news right when I get home or late at night, not in the prime spots.

I quit paying any attention to Katie Couric the day she switched from "perky and cute" to "bitchy and opinionated".

I think it was career suicide for her to move. The reason she was so good is the format of the morning shows. People sitting around, chit-chatting, doing nice stories, etc. Now she reads from a teleprompter and does normal nightly news stuff which a monkey could do.

You'd be surprised how many people get their "news" from the Big-3 nightly newscasts.

It is pretty obvious, too. Check out P&N sometime.

From everything I've read it is pretty much the over 60 crowd that watches the Big 3 nightly news casts.

Well, in her defense, King of Queens is a halfway decent show.

Yes, maybe we should be looking at this as a case of how awesome King of Queens is, not how much Katie Couric sucks...
