""Today" show host Katie Couric announced her departure from NBC on Wednesday to join rival CBS, where she was to become the first sole woman anchor of a major U.S. network evening newscast.
Couric told her "Today" audience she was leaving at the end of May after 15 years, longer than any other anchor of the 54-year-old morning show, to join the CBS "Evening News" and "60 Minutes."..."

So the silly ole slapper has jumped ship for a "serious" position...errr...not really her background is it? not that I care as I don't watch 60 mins, but would be interesting to see how long everyone thinks she'll last...

As a sports fan I find Bob Costas particularly grating.

Is is me, or is Katie Couric the single worst presenter/interviewer in the history of television? All I can say is, it's given me another good reason to carry on getting most of my news from the BBC and NPR.

It has shown up just what a joke US network television news is though, and the cable channels aren't much better. Although Fox News is sometimes good for a laugh.
