It is now an official story. Katie Couric is leaving NBC at the end of May for the green stations of CBS News & 60 Minutes. She is joining a great network with a great tradition. But at the same time, CBS is acquiring a heck of a workaholic for its news division. Katie is a great worker, a trailblazing of a woman. Hey, it is time that we say congratulations to her. She or her agents held their ground and found something worth moving to.
Katie Couric made the announcement this morning on NBC. The crew showed her in a 172-year hair style sitting close to Bryant Grumble who had previously left for CBS. Then, soon after the clip, her sidekick on the Today Show, Matt Lauer, introduced her breaking news. Katie said the following:
"I wanted to tell all of you out there who have watched the show for the past 15 years that after listening to my heart and my gut _ two things that have served me pretty well in the past _ I've decided I'll be leaving 'Today' at the end of May," she said. "I really feel as if we've become friends through the years."
"Sometimes I think change is a good thing," Couric said. "Although it may be terrifying to get out of your comfort zone, it's also very exciting to start a new chapter in your life."
"It's hard to imagine being here and not having you sitting next to us," co-host Matt Lauer told her.
Between now and then, NBC has the opportunity to be grateful to her. Good job for Katie Couric. She was featured on the Washington Post's papers.
