McManus said that Couric “has well over a year to go” on her contract—reportedly worth $15 million a year—and that “it has not even been a subject of discussion.” And it snows in Miami every July...c'mon!

“I don’t think there is anyone out there that would imply she hasn’t done a brilliant and stellar job”
Shouldn’t that be present tense: “that....she isn’t doing”
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

How can you spend $15M for a news reader? To quote George C. Scott's General Harlan Bache in "Taps," "With the stroke of a pen, sir!"

Pay all workers the same rate. Executives down to mailroom staffers.
Each shall contribute to the organization according to ability.
Good enough for the rewards of our labor, let’s cut it to the quick and implement it at the corporate level.

When management speaks in past tense...it’s curtains. Same lingo is being used for Olberman.

“I don’t think there is anyone out there that would imply she hasn’t done a brilliant and stellar job” And would the ratings go UP or down if Jon Stewart were to take over the job?

It was either Rush or Glenn Beck who stated that Couric is looking to take over from Oprah.
She’ll probably ask $50million for that gig.

Olberman would be a loss. For one thing, he amuses me just because he’s so rabidly nucking futs. Then, for the folks with those wall-mount TVs who tune into his show to make sure the TV is level by moving it until the drool is running out of both sides of his mouth. They’d have find some alternative.

They are not cutting her salary but they are adding to her duties. For example she now will have to make coffee for the news dept staff.

"there were expectations that the former “Today” star could help boost the ratings. So far, that hasn't happened." Awwww... too bad. There's a rumor going around that someone fom MSNBC might be available in the future.
