Producers hoped that Couric's popularity with morning viewers would translate to the evening audience, however, the broadcast's ratings have failed to trump rival networks. The Wall Street Journal quoted "people close to Katie Couric" as saying that she would leave following the US Presidential elections and subsequent inauguration.However, a statement released by CBS said, "We are very proud of the 'CBS Evening News,' particularly our political coverage, and we have no plans for any changes regarding Katie or the broadcast."Couric also released a statement about the rumors, saying, "My colleagues continue to impress me with their commitment to the newscast, and I am very proud of the show we put on every day."Photo courtesy of CBS.
