NEW YORK (AP) -- Katie Couric is leaving her anchor post at "CBS Evening News" less than five years after becoming the first woman to solely helm a network TV evening newscast.
A network executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Couric has not officially announced her plans, reported the move to The Associated Press on Sunday night. The 54-year-old anchor is expected to launch a syndicated talk show in 2012 and several companies are vying for her services.
Couric's move from NBC's "Today" show was big news in 2006, and she began in the anchor chair with a flourish that September.

Campaign time is coming...

Might as well give the job back to Dan Rather - courage!
OMG! Oh Noes! what will we do?
Couric, an ugly little female idiot. I never saw how that little troll could actually have an audience, and I suppose I was right, she drove away the existing audience. LOL!

Another the View show? she’s going to have to pack on another fifty pounds.
Now for the $64,000 Question. Will the Perky Katie Couric and the Irrational Keith Olbermann get together to form a dumb and dumber tag team? What network’s gullible enough to hire them CNN?
We all must keep in mind that there is a very compelling reason that a “Couric” is a unit of fecal weight....
KC and the Sunshine Cheeks have left the building!
