The Wall Street Journal Online is reporting that Katie Couric could be on the verge of departing from CBS. The Journal reports that CBS executives are under pressure to cut costs on the programme, and the biggest target there is Katie Couric with her contract reportedly worth $15 million a year.
If she were to leave, who should get the anchor duties? Well, Harry Smith, longtime CBS News anchor, but like Katie mostly for morning programmes, has proved himself a more than capable anchor when he has substituted for her. The only other feasible alternative from within CBS News is Russ Mitchell, who anchors the Sunday edition of the programme. Can't say I see any other reasonable alternatives from outside of CBS News.
