Let the speculation begin.

She's pregnant! With twins! And they're smurfs!

McCain/Couric '08

Al Roker knocked her up....gotta be it....or she's coming back to the show cause' she couldn't swim with the big fishes. It's on or a tother.

They have found a new drug that means sex changes are over, take two tablets in the evening become target lifestyle in the morning?

Word is that CBS and NBC are getting together to do some kind of cancer fundraiser.

Nope, nope, its a new Clinton defense fund, she gonna sue the poop out of Slickwilly Jr.

Word is that CBS and NBC are getting together to do some kind of cancer fundraiser.

And they found that by firing Couric and donating her salary to research would actually be better for the company? Or are they simply donating Couric herself to science for drug testing?

So is Catie donating her butt to colon cancer research??.

There's a typo in your post title, JJ.

It reads as if "Katie Couric" were going to make a "Major Announcement."

Quite spamming my comments section trying to hawk your site, Dee. Commenting on other blogs is a good way to build up name recognition and traffic but you have to actually contribute something to the discussion at hand for that to work.

It appears that hype is the only way networks can make a profit on Katie anymore. Katie hype = ratings bump. Other than that she's a revenue drain. How many times will the major announcement tomorrow on Today work?

All together, now:

We are the world

So let's start giving

Just for the record, did Katie make an announcement this morning? If so, it hasn't turned up in the news yet. That means it certainly couldn't have been major. I guess it was hype for hype's sake as I suspected from the start.

Just for the record, did Katie make an announcement this morning?

Yes: All three of the original major networks (CBS, NBC, ABC) are joining in to raise money for cancer research.

ABC, CBS and NBC have agreed to set aside the same hour of prime-time television on the first Friday night in September for a live, joint telethon benefiting cancer research, representatives for the networks said in interviews. Among those who encouraged the networks to put aside their competitive instincts, albeit temporarily, was Katie Couric, anchor of the “CBS Evening News,” who will appear on the fund-raiser alongside her principal rivals, Brian Williams of NBC and Charles Gibson of ABC. All three have had immediate family members die of the disease, and another principal, Jeff Zucker, the president and chief executive of NBC and Ms. Couric’s former boss, is a colon cancer survivor.

"Major" is a relative term, I suppose.

Thank you, James. That sounds like a laudable project. It hasn't shown up (yet?) in the places I go to quick scan the news, i.e., Google, Yahoo, Drudge, etc.
