CBS COURIC NIGHTMARE... WEDNESDAY EDITION OF 'EVENING NEWS' 3RD PLACE IN ALL TOP 7 MARKETS, NIELSEN REPORTS... LAST PLACE IN ALL OF LOS ANGELES BROADCAST-TV, BEHIND ABC, NBC AND 'MALCOLM IN MIDDLE', 'FRIENDS', 'KING OF QUEENS'' RERUNS...

[COUNTrecount]

15 million a year?

[GeorgiaDawg32]

I can do that job and come in last place for ONLY 10 mil a year..I'd be saving them 5 mil..

[Red Badger]

Maybe they can get her to have a wardrobe malfunction........

[Mr. K]

What did "Fake but Accurate" Dan Rather make?

[Rummyfan]

LOL! Trailing even King of Queens reruns!

Well, Leah Rimini is pretty hot.....

[roses of sharon]

Sweet.

[theDentist]

I wonder how many CBS suits are floating their resumes now, and at bargain basement prices?

[mainepatsfan]

Branch Rickey said it best, "We finished last with you, we can finish last without you."

[rellimpank]

--my boycott is working--

[Ken522]

Not at her age - I think she's almost 50.

[Loyal Buckeye]

I saw Perky on the pre-Super Bowl show. Can you spell DESPERATION? What a hoot.

[KoRn]

"LAST PLACE IN ALL OF LOS ANGELES BROADCAST-TV, BEHIND ABC, NBC AND 'MALCOLM IN MIDDLE', 'FRIENDS', 'KING OF QUEENS'' RERUNS..."

LOL! That has got to hurt!!

[Suzy Quzy]

Katie should never have left her cushy job talking with stupid women in the morning....when the men caught her at 6:00 P.M. they were totally turned off.

[OCCASparky]

No thanks. Looks like she's had so much botox/plastic surgery you could bounce a quarter off her face.

And See-BS, if you're interested, I could lie for a million a year. I might not even laugh at your idiotic reporters (much).

[Izzy Dunne]

Maybe they can get her to have a wardrobe malfunction........

No.

NO!

You are one sick puppy...

;->

[chiefqc]

Yea, and the morons who selected her are making even more.

Can't say they were not told, but they are sooooooooooooo smart they knew better - Well I guess they were wrong but nobody cares - so deal with it you morons with the big egos and little common sense.

[geezerwheezer]

Hey, I'll underbid you....$500,000 per! :0 )

[mainepatsfan]

She's the only reason I stop to watch it when I'm channel surfing.

[IndyTiger]

I couldn't believe CBS gave a promo to Katie Couric on the very first commercial break of the game. Talk about desperation...can you believe the money the network gave up to play that spot?

[OCCASparky]

Maybe if she got a colonoscopy live on air again?

Ewwww. Maybe not.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Maybe they can get her to have a wardrobe malfunction........

And lower their ratings even further?

[Suzy Quzy]

King of Queens is Must See TV, so is Green Acres!! ANYTHING is better than nightly news or hideous cable shows.

[blues_guitarist]

". . . 'MALCOLM IN MIDDLE' . . ."

    HA HA!!

[Doogle]

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Here's my favorite. She was even behind a show that hasn't been produced in 17 years. This was in a in a major market ;

Couric has lowest week yet; 7th place in LA behind "Mama's Family"

[Rummyfan]

Only on TV do fat slob losers get wives like this - see alos According to Jim...

[mainepatsfan]

She had more folks watching her during the Super Bowl than all of her broadcasts combined.

[Tribune7]

Wow. King of Queens reruns.

[Seajay]

WHO CARES?
About her or any other news 'PERSON'.
Man, are we so loopy that we are fascinated with news about news?

[savedbygrace]

Well, she can always go back to pimping products on the ION Network.

[mainepatsfan]

Agreed. Her ego got the best of her.

[traditional1]

"LOL! Trailing even King of Queens reruns!"

Next, they'll bring in Keith Olberman to team up with Perky to boost the ratings!

Ya gotta luv it!

[Edgar3]

[mainepatsfan]

I wonder if these are the same folks who brought Bryant Gumbel over to do their morning show?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Serously...she is already toast.

It's just that they hired her at such a high salary and with so much fanfare that they can't make the change that quickly.

[savedbygrace]

Maybe they can get her to have a wardrobe malfunction........

Uh, gravity hasn't been kind to the formerly perky one, Red.

[PGalt]

FReeper humor BUMP!

[brownsfan]

"I can do that job and come in last place for ONLY 10 mil a year..I'd be saving them 5 mil.."

What the heck, go all the way, we can get an Indian H1B in here for $40k-$50k. Sure we wouldn't be able to understand whoever it was, but I don't understand Katie.

CBS will pay Rather, either by lump sum or biweekly paychecks, through November, when his contract is officially up. Since he makes $12 million a year, that was worth arguing about, and CBS executives did argue until Monday.

[TomGuy]

Reports a month or so previous had her trailing behind reruns of Mama's Family and Green Acres.

It is a good thing that CBS has some successful night programs to pay for the Couric mess.

[Suzy Quzy]

Pride Goeth Before The Fall!

[mainepatsfan]

It'd be like using a lifeboat to bail out the Titanic.

[buck61]

Couldn't happen to a better network. Now if the same would happen to MSNBC the nation would be better served!!!!!

[mainepatsfan]

Yeah and only on TV do the fat slobs actually complain about them.

[Antoninus]

Well, Leah Rimini is pretty hot.....

Maybe they should get her to host the See-BS evening news...

[albie]

just behind Magilla Gorilla re-runs.

[Nextrush]

What is there to see anyway?

History repeats itself like the Baba Wawa experiment 30 years ago at ABC. She and Harry Reasoner bombed.

[4yearlurker]

Katie is a depressing drone as a news anchor. Throw in she's a Bush/America hating commie Liberal and that equals low ratings. I guess you don't always get what you pay for.

[mainepatsfan]

It won't be too long before Olbermann goes after Kevin James.

[CaptRon]

Branch Rickey said it best, "We finished last with you, we can finish last without you."

Poor Ralph.
