This is the way it is…
Well, it’s over.
If you’ve seen the publicity, it is the most monentous event to have occurred in TV news since the advent of 30-minute newscasts. Katie Couric(hardly a giant of journalism)is now the anchor of the CBS Evening News(hallelujah!)!
And it WILL be different, that’s for sure. As she signed off last night, Katie gave us a nice shot of her legs…something that neither Douglas Edwards, Walter Cronkite, or Dan Rather(her predecessors)ever did.
She even asked us to submit a sign-off line for her, a la Cronkite’s “And that’s…the way it is”. We can make our choices on the CBS website.
Well, I’ve always wanted this to be an interactive blog. So I’m going to allow you to do it here, too. After all, if TV history is being made, I’d like us to be involved with it.
So if you have a suggestion for a tag line for Katie, feel free to submit it here. I’d love to be of help to this woman of history. Personally, the best suggestion I’ve yet seen is “Good night…and keep it perky!” Got a better one? Let me know!
