Micstromme 3 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I must say that I am thrilled that Katie Couric's new talk show will be on ABC. I also love that she is an addition to the ABC News Division. My question is do you guys think that once her show takes off rom the ground that she will continue to contribute to the news pool? I sure hope so as she is a seasoned journalist and she has earned her place in such a gene pool. So can someone please confirm whether she will remain with the ABC News Team or will she just do the talk show and that is it?

swillh2k2 203 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The plan is for her to do the talk show and also contribute to ABC News. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12081-question-regarding-katie-couric/#findComment-74937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnus4you 0 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Can't help but wonder if Katie is going to fill Barbara Walter's shoes for specials and such. That's all she's good for. God knows her serious anchoring/journalist days are in the past.

Micstromme 3 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 I heard that she was among the three journalists that would sit in for the medical vacation of Robin Roberts. I would actually like this as it helps to keep Couric in that world. I'm not suggesting that she will not be successful with the talk show, but I hope that her duties with that venue doesn't outshine the wonderful history that she has had on The Today Show or at The CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes. Ido not think that she will replace Babs Walter anytime soon. Babs is still going strong at her age. Also, they could continue to do specials like they did with her last year. The best news about all of this was that Katie Couric joined ABC News.

24994J 5594 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 NYC...I'm not sure if at ABC, but wouldn't be surprised at all. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12081-question-regarding-katie-couric/#findComment-74973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1474 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I believe it's being filmed in ABC NYC headquarters. The studio that used to house Wayne Brady or Tony Danza(one of those) and Good Morning America.

ABC 7 Denver 1725 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 It's funny how we know far more about 30Rock than 7 Lincoln Square. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12081-question-regarding-katie-couric/#findComment-74981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmediaguy 123 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 From the Katie website... Where is the television studio? The studio (ABC Studios TV 1 ) is located at 30 West 67th Street (between Columbus Avenue and Central Park West) in New York City. The closest subway station is the 1, 2, 3 line at 66th Street/Lincoln center. The audience should enter at the audience entrance located at 30 W. 67th Street between Columbus Avenue and Central Park West.

Micstromme 3 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Also I like the digital show Katie's Take. My question is once the syndicated talk show kicks off, will that cease production or will it continue to air on the Yahoo Page weekly? I hope it stays as it is an official ABC News Program. Can't anyone tell I'm more psyched about the ABC News part of the deal than the syndication part? News is where she has her chops, so I hope she stays with that.

That happen's to pretty much be 7 Lincoln Square (If not. Only, like, a block away) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12081-question-regarding-katie-couric/#findComment-75032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
detroiter313 180 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The main question is: Will Katie be successful? After all, we've seen another network news personality (i.e. Jane Pauley) tried it and didn't work.
