Howard Kurtz reports
Katie Couric will first announce her departure from NBC, which wants to give her a warm send-off after a decade in which she helped make "Today" the top-rated morning program. (
Meredith Vieira has been offered the job of replacing Couric and is seriously considering it.) An announcement that Couric will succeed
Bob Schieffer as "CBS Evening News" anchor will come later, in part because the final contractual details haven't been worked out. || Related stories from
