Katie Couric will be signing off in CBS Evening News after five years to pursue a new project in hosting her own syndicated show after her contract expires on June 4, 2011.
The veteran journalist hasn’t officially quit CBS but Katie thinks she fell short in providing new things due to some restraints as an anchor in CBS Evening News.
Katie says, "I would have given people what they were used to, a traditional newscast. And then as they got to know me and got more comfortable, then I would’ve started toying with the format and trying new things. I think we were overly ambitious. We probably would have been better off playing it a little safer."
She is now in talks with different networks and she plans to start the syndicated show in September of 2012.
