Disney-ABC’s new syndicated daily talk show Katie, hosted by former Today and CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric, has added station clearances to reach coverage of more than 80% of the country, including 55 of the top 60 markets. In addition to the show’s core launch group of the ABC owned stations, clearances include stations from the Granite, Griffin, Media General, Meredith, Raycom and Sinclair broadcast groups. Katie is one of four new daily syndicated talk shows hosted by a well-known TV personality to launch next fall, along with NBCU’s Steve Harvey and CBS TV Distribution’s Jeff Probst, which have been announced, and Twentieth’s Ricki Lake, which is expected to join them.

So is Bethenny dead ? I thought it was dead but all Deadlines recent articles have mentioned her. I would stick daggers in my eyes rather than watch an hour talk show hosted by her
Well, the leftists can enjoy Katie…the rest of us will watch Bill O’Reilly.
Like Rosie O’donell, Katie Couric is over-rated. Let me be the first to say that her show will not go over well. The executives might like her, but she’s passed her likability.
I don’t care if Katie has talk show as long as it doesn’t push GH out of the line up. Long time GH fans will boycott the show if that happens
can’t stand Katie, GH should be on at 3 like it’s been for years. She should of took the 2 oclock spot
