Katie Couric is ‘bringing her many talents’ to ABC
By Dylan Stableford
After Katie Couric has spent the last several weighing offers and pitches from the major news networks, the former "CBS Evening News" host announced her new, multiplatform deal with ABC and Disney on Monday.
Couric will host a syndicated daytime talk show produced by ABC. The show will debut this fall. Couric will also join ABC News later this summer.
Here's the internal memo from ABC News president Ben Sherwood:
I'm pleased to share important news: Anne Sweeney is announcing at this hour that Katie Couric will join the Disney/ABC Television Group to produce and host a syndicated daytime talk show that will debut in the Fall of 2012.
While her primary mission will be to create and launch the new show, Katie is also joining our team at ABC News this summer, bringing her many talents to some of the most important and interesting stories of the day.
A versatile journalist, interviewer and storyteller, Katie will contribute across all of our broadcasts and online, joining our powerhouse line-up of anchors and correspondents as the ultimate utility player. Katie is committed to helping us uphold the great traditions of ABC News as we strive to build the news division of the future.
Katie Couric's new hour-long syndicated talk show will premiere on ABC in September 2012; Couric also joins ABC News in a multi-platform deal announced by Disney/ABC.
Katie's remarkable career spans more than three decades. In 2010, she won the DuPont Award for her interview with Sarah Palin. In 2008 and 2009, Couric's CBS Evening News was honored with the Murrow Award for Best Newscast. In 2004, she was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame. In 2001, she won a Murrow Award for Overall
Excellence and in 2000 she earned a Peabody Award for her landmark series on colon cancer.
While many are familiar with her myriad accomplishments, I'm delighted to remind you that Katie got her start in our business in 1979 as an ABC News desk assistant in our Washington bureau.
On a personal note, I've known Katie for 14 years, and even with all of her success, I'm confident that her best days, biggest scoops and most powerful journalism lie directly ahead.
So help me to welcome Katie (@katiecouric) back to ABC News. This is a great day as we all look forward to new possibilities.
