CBS Makes Mistake -- NBC Poised to Make One?

If CBS thinks that its news will magically recover because Katie Couric joins it, I think they're sadly mistaken. The move will cost them far more money than it will cost the Today Show viewers. Katie tends to polarize people, isn't exactly at her best doing hard news, and has little to add to the dying 6:30 newscasts.

As for NBC, if they go with Meredith Viera, I will be scratching my head. Meredith is a person that people either love or hate on a show that people love or hate (the View). It seems much wiser to go with Campbell Brown, Natalie Morales or even the not so bright Ann Curry. Let Matt Lauer shine a little more, bring in someone less known (and who will stay younger longer) to do the show and make a name for herself for the Today show.
