It’s Official: Katie Couric Announces Exit From ‘Evening News,’ Suitors Down To 2

After almost five years as anchor of CBS Evening News, Katie Couric will be stepping down in June. As expected, she made the announcement this afternoon. And as expected, she made it in a low-key fashion, just briefly acknowledging her pending departure in a statement to People. “I have decided to step down from the CBS Evening News,” Couric said. “I’m really proud of the talented team on the CBS Evening News and the award-winning work we’ve been able to do in the past five years in addition to the reporting I’ve done for 60 Minutes and CBS Sunday Morning. In making the decision to move on, I know the Evening News will be in great hands, but I am excited about the future.” She didn’t want to discuss her future plans beyond saying that she is looking for “a format that will allow me to engage in more multi-dimensional storytelling,” but the decision to make her announcement to People vs. a news-oriented outlet is a clear indication of her pending switch from hard news to daytime TV. As for Couric’s future destination, expected to be announced in the next week or two, early frontrunner NBC is “fading out,” a source close to the situation said. With Telepictures/CNN also recently leaving the picture, it is down to CBS and ABC, whose late offer is said to be very lucrative, especially on the news side, which has been important to Couric, including participation in the coverage of the 2012 presidential elections. While CBS has the pull of a very strong syndication division and a spot on the most revered newsmagazine, 60 Minutes, the company’s executives have started managing expectations, telling TV Guide magazine that they expect Couric to go to ABC.
