“Couric is CBS’s best shot, its only shot, and its long shot”

New York Magazine
Will Katie Couric move to CBS News or stick with NBC? “People who know Couric say they don’t know what she’ll do — and suggest that Couric doesn’t know yet, either,” writes David Blum. “She may allow herself to be wooed for a while; her agent … has been suggesting around town that his client is seriously weighing the possibility of moving to CBS. And it’s conceivable that CBS would commit to the $15 million-a-year salary it would probably take to hire Couric, as well as the additional millions she would demand that the network pump into the news division to support her.”
> “The drumbeat is getting louder and louder in the halls of CBS, signaling that Katie Couric is going to leap over to the network this spring when her NBC contract runs out,” writes J. Max Robins. (Broadcasting & Cable)
