Katie Couric leaving Today
The official news is out and Katie Couric is leaving NBC for CBS. Katie will leave the number one morning show to become the first female to anchor a evening newscast. The announcement came at her 15th year at the morning show that started in 1991:
I wanted to tell all of you out there that after listening to my heart and my gut, I’ve decided I’ll be leaving ‘Today’ at the end of May. I really feel as if we’ve become friends through the years.
It’s been such an honor and a privilege to occupy this seat for as long as I have,” she said. “Sometimes I think change is a good thing. Although it may be terrifying to get out of your comfort zone, it’s also very exciting to start a new chapter in your life.
Rumor on the short list to replace Katie is The View’s Meredith Vieira.
