Couric Confirms She's Leaving 'CBS Evening News'
NEW YORK (CBS4) – The 'CBS Evening News" will soon be without Katie Couric. Couric has confirmed that she's leaving her anchor job.
A statement released by a CBS News spokesperson reads, "There's a lot to be proud of during her time at Evening News. CBS news, like Katie herself, is looking forward to the next chapter."
Couric told People magazine in a story published Tuesday on its website that she hasn't decided what she's doing next. But she says she is "looking at a format that will allow me to engage in more multi-dimensional storytelling."
It has been recently reported that Couric's tenure as CBS anchor would end just short of five years in the job. Her contract expires June 4.
CBS has not set an exit date but is expected to appoint Scott Pelley of "60 Minutes" as her successor as early as next week.
