I’ve watched Katie Couric do the evening news on CBS several times and while she appeared to be very nervous her first night she’s seemed to be relaxing more into the role each day. Of course it could be she’s able to relax because she knows she has a personal physician close by.
More changes at CBS: Katie’s doc hired – TV Squad:
They’re not just changing the sets and the theme music over at The CBS Evening News, they’re also changing the personnel. In a move that is becoming more and more controversial, CBS has gotten rid of medical reporter Elizabeth Kaledin and hired Katie Couric’s personal doctor, Jonathan LaPook. Kaledin says she is “heartbroken” by the move.
Sometimes bringing in all your “own people” can play against you especially when your replacing competent personnel who have been there for some time.¬ We’ll have to wait and see what Katie does next.
