BREAKING NEWS: KATIE COURIC MIGHT BE OUT IN NEXT FEW WEEKS!

The New York Times reports this morning that Katie might be leaving sooner than later.

Though some people close to Ms. Couric, as well as some professional associates, said Thursday they believed that it was now likely she would not remain as anchor through the election, and might even leave in the next few weeks, that point was adamantly denied by the senior executives closest to the decision.

How is Katie Holding Up? 

Some of Ms. Couric’s friends have described her as miserable, while others say she has adopted a stoic reaction to what has happened.

Who Replaces Katie? 

As for the decision to make a change in the CBS anchor job, two names had already gotten attention at CBS News headquarters as potential interim anchors: Harry Smith, a host on “The Early Show,” and Bob Schieffer, the anchor who stepped aside to make room for Ms. Couric.

Looks like we know now why Bob Schieffer was asked to put off retirement.
