"I think we'll have a newscast that evolves over time," Katie Couric told the press in Denver Thursday, on day four of her cross-country tour. Couric will spend time in San Diego today before heading up the road to Los Angeles for the TCA Press Tour this weekend.
At the town meetings, Couric and potential viewers have been talking about the Internet, among other subjects. The AP reports: "The changes, she said, could include expanding segments and breaking traditional time constraints of newscasting. The network is also focusing on how the Internet can enhance the nightly news, offering a place where people can watch news on their schedule and where the network can add information left out of a 30-minute broadcast."
Couric says: "...Part of it is figuring out new ways to deliver what we do to people so they can get it when they get it, because what we've heard from a lot of people is it's hard, 'I'm not home. I'd love to watch it, but find me a way to do that.'"

Hey Katie, you might as well sit at a glass desk with some nice short skirts, and just show them your lovely legs. You've got nothing to say.

On the contrary, Katie...I AM at home when the news comes on.
I just choose to watch other sources, and so do many other viewers.

She's in so far over her head, I'm guessing she's close to panic at this point.

Katie "Queen" Couric will only finish the destruction of CBS News that Dan Rather started. Oh, their ratings will go up for a few days - maybe even a few weeks but then they will go down the cesspool.

They are considering moving the Nightly News to 2 pm so that more of their constituency can watch while they get ready for the evening. At 6:30pm they already need to be on the move-- that's right in the middle of Happy Hour.

Heck she might as well do the newscast nude, since there won't be anyone watching anyway.

This is all PR and marketing.
Lots of people are also saying, "Katie, I'd like to watch some news but can't find any. All I hear and see are one-sided editorials." And, "Gee Katie - seems like you get an awful lot of money for just reading to people." And, "Well Katie, now that there's an internet the idea of the 'Evening News' just seems stupid."

Yeah, she's got to have time for all those recipes and fashion hints.
What a loser.

Focusing on the messenger instead of the message...bassakards. Report the news....that's the job.

See Katie tour.. See Katie break into a cold sweat...
The internet... and flexible time slots.... are phrases that cause the _BS networks to wet their undies. Katie must be realizing that once people have their morning coffee, etc....their not into fixed TV news slot viewing. And she left the waking stupor-coffee slot.
