I've been up since 4 AM with a teething baby, and now, I can't get back to sleep. So when I'm up this early, I listen to the Imus In The Morning show on MSNBC.
Well, they are an hour ahead, and just patched in a feed of the Today show, and Katie Couric leaving to go to CBS as head anchorwoman of the evening news, as well as a new anchorwoman for 60 minutes.
I don't mind Katie leaving, I think she is making yet another smart business move and considers all options available. I am a loyal Today show viewer, however, they are replacing Katie not with Ann Curry (my first choice for most professional) Campbell Brown, or Natalie Morales (2 ladies we've seen more and more of on weekday broadcasts), but with Merideth Viera (The View, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire). I don't watch either of those shows, I'm sure Merideth will do an excellent job, considering her resume alone. However, it seems like the network is copping out. I can't help but wonder why the other three ladies weren't offered the position, and if so, why not take it?
I'm disappointed in NBC's decision.
What does everyone else think about this?
