In fact, if she does 260 broadcasts a year (which would be every weekday in a year so unlikely), that's $50,000 per half hour show. Not bad at all. She'll be making more per hour under the CBS deal.

It's hard enough for me to listen to the "perky" Katie Couric in the morning when I'm bright and shiny; can't imagine dealing with her when I'm tired and grumpy after a long day. One more reason NOT to watch the Rathergate network. Poor girl, now she'll never get to fawn all over Tom Cruise again.

Hell I'd even take a pay cut because it would make my life so much less miserable. I'd take a half hour job at 5:30PM over a 3 hour job at 6AM for the same pay.

Katie baby is another overpaid premodnna that will do and say anything to glorify her own twisted ego. I did not and would not watch her on NBC and the same criterion will apply for her on CBS.

Not to mention that headlining the CBS Evening News is a prestige bump over the Today Show, and much less work to boot.

I am trying to imagine a lifestyle where my present salary of $13M seems inadequate and I feel that I must accept $20M a year instead. But now she gets to sleep in!
