Katie Couric's dismal ratings for the nightly CBS evening news will be addressed by adding a male anchor to her desk.
Rumor has it Couric is getting a co-host on the CBS Evening News and it's going to be a man.
The network was confident that Katie would be the archetype for more successful female news anchors, but the magic has yet to be realized in ratings.
CBS is in third for the ratings. Katie's Iraq trip also failed to pull in any ratings spike or additional audience.
Hollywood reporter Janet Charlton claims that "behind closed doors, the network had Anderson Cooper at the top of their wish-list for co-anchor, but he has an iron-clad contract with CNN. So the search is on."

LOL!!!
I still don’t know why they replaced Bob Schieffer.
He did an adequate job and appealed to the older demographic CBS attracts.

Will the new anchor be getting the same paycheck as Katie?

It’s not about her being a woman.
They don’t get it.

I wondered who they sent in to deliver the news to Ms. Couric. Probably hired a temp with a terminal disease so when she killed him and ate his liver they wouldn’t be sued.
I got to admit I am chuckling a bit. That had to leave a mark.
