Pasadena -- Katie Couric's going to the Super Bowl.
The "CBS Evening News" anchor will contribute a feature to CBS' four-hour Super Bowl pregame show on Feb. 4, the network said on Thursday. She will also anchor the evening news from Miami, the site of the big game, on the Friday before the game.
There's precedent at other networks for the news anchors to be involved in sports coverage, including Brian Williams and Couric during NBC's Olympic broadcasts, said Sean McManus, president of CBS News and Sports.
"It is the biggest event of the day and it makes sense for us to showcase what she does before the biggest audience of the year," McManus said. Couric's evening newscast is in third place in the ratings behind NBC and ABC.
She's tentatively scheduled to do a feature on Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward and his Korean heritage.

This'll make your day.
THE SUPERBOWL.........Where everybody wears skirts!

*Barf Alert* ping...
Yet another reason for the average American to avoid the Super Bowl
Katie will be easy to spot at the Superbowl. She'll be playing "Tight End"...
She'll take a story about a class act and turn it into weepy, maudlin, cliched tripe.
I want to hurt her. Badly.
This time, they need to run the roto-rooter in from the other direction. That should shut her up for a little while.
Reminds me of 'The Flying Nun' (Sally Fields) with pom poms.
;-)
Just when you think CBS can't go no lower. Trying to jam the winch down our throats.
Oh, puh-leeze - how far did they have to stretch to get the correct PC angle for Katie the Commie to opine about.
this is so low, and so typical.
