I think you're right, at times the Today Show could get a little sickening with the banter and giggles. But there was an honesty and ease with Couric that, well at least for some of us women, seemed like something we could appreciate.

I think CBS saw her as having mass appeal that would automatically translate to the evening crowd. But I guess not a lot of Americans are getting their news from TV sources anymore, and only old people are tuning in. It's a dying news form. Apparently, morning TV is a whole different beast from evening TV. Anyway, really dumb decision on the part of CBS. Katie Couric will walk away with millions.
