Speculation is running rampant about former NBC sweetheart, Katie Couric's, pending demise as anchor of the CBS Evening News.The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday evening that Katie will be off the anchor desk well before her contract expires.
CBS is strongly denying the report.
We say to CBS at the Director's Cut Blog, PLEASE keep Katie! In fact, instead of sending peanuts to CBS executives, we'll send bottles of bubbly instead.
Why? The answer is quite selfish for NBC and WKYC. Since Katie abandoned us and took over at CBS, her show's ratings haven't been a serious threat to Brian Williams or Charlie Gibson on ABC. This basically makes it a two person race for the coveted national news broadcasts - certainly helping WKYC in the process with higher numbers.
So, we are officially petitioning CBS to please keep Katie and bring all this speculation to a quick end. Please sign her for the next 50 years!
