Another New Low For CBS Evening News: 5.5 Million Viewers Last Week Another week, another new low for the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.
Last week, the Evening News fell to 5,495,000 average total viewers -- a decline of 464,000 viewers from the week before, and the broadcast's lowest delivery in at least 20 years.
The rating is based on a four-day average because Memorial Day is excluded. And an e-mailer notes that Couric "was only on two days last week (those 2 days being Tuesday and Friday)..."
MAN that extremly low
Personally I rather see Looter guy do CBS news

I give — what’s a “CBS”?
Ha Ha Ha! Even in the midst of presidential debates they hit an all time low! L0L
At least he would bring some beer. :)
I remember back when Katie was on today and the ratings were going down. Management gave her a fat raise because they figured the ratings would go down even faster without her. Maybe CBS will do the same.
Where is the surprise here :)

Why spend the money on Katie? What the heck are they getting for it? And why do they think that they'd sink faster with someone else? What does that say about their faith in their essential product (so-called news production)?
The problem that CBS has is that most people want to hear and see on the news what really happened, not just made up stuff.
They are still reaping the effects of the rathergate fiasco.

Ride her all the way down to 3.5M and then giver her the golden parachute that will sink the rest of CBS!
Just think how low the rating could have been, if Katie had been on more often.
That is tremendous! It shows that Americans aren’t as stupid as they think. I hope CBS sinks right out of existence
Hm. Rather respectable looking...
Ping to looter newsguy
Actually, not that far from reality.
” I’ve had 20/20 after me. Good Morning America has been after me. Everybody has been after me, you know, for the last three or four years, and I’ve turned them all down. I was not ready to speak. I am willing. In order to help Les Moonves and CBS and Katie Couric, I will offer myself. I’m Rush Limbaugh. I am ratings, as I said yesterday, and in an effort to save the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, I make this public offer today...”
Nice to see it happening to CBS!
