Our local CBS affiliate was crowing (on last night's local news) that Katie's rating in the Twin Cities area were much higher than the rest of the country.

WCCO in Minneapolis is owned by the CBS corporation.

It's pretty much a direct party line: Democrats-> CBS-> WCCO.

If the ratings continue to slide, they will get desperate and start resorting to "focus groups" to improve the broadcast. This could be quite entertaining.

I envision guest appearances of Oprah for starters. We will see changes in wardrobe and hair. Set changes. Changes in camera angles. Odd features on whatever the tabloid story du jour is. Hollywood guest appearances.

And then.....Katie on the Road!! Broadcasting from various cultural meccas. We will see her in LA for the Academy Awards, in New York for the spring fashion shows, etc. Or even worse, she will visit SMALL TOWNS to let viewers se what it's like to live "so far off the beaten path."

We could all help by sending e-mails with such suggestions as "I think Katie looks better in green," or "Katie needs a haircut" or "What happened to Bryant Gumbel and Dan Rather?" Heheheh.

I definitely agree with you on that.

Some Republicans refer to WCCO as WDFL and the main news anchor (Don Shelby) as DFL Don.

DFL, meaning Democrat Farmer Labor.
