Extending Couric

The Daily Beast


Sources claim that CBS executives are going to ask Couric to stay with CBS, just until 2012 and they will not be able to offer more money.

Couric is one of those reporters that turn my stomach. She's lucky she's getting any offer. In my world, she'd be no where near the tv, let alone having her own show.


If Couric and the network reach agreement, it will be for an annual salary significantly lower than the $15 million in her original deal. And the source says the new contract would be for a shorter period, running through the 2012 elections, which would essentially buy time for both sides to pursue other options.

Couric plans to listen to other offers in the coming months and might decide to go elsewhere, or the talks with the network could fall apart. But working in her favor is CBS’ apparent lack of a Plan B—that is, no obvious successor waiting in the wings.

She could follow in Dan Rather's footsteps. Or Keith Olbermann's…

I cannot stand her. She is one person on the news I simply cannot tolerate. I'd rather listen to Olbermann.
