NEW YORK (AP) - It surely wasn't what CBS dreamed about when Katie Couric was hired: the "CBS Evening News" last week recorded its smallest audience since and probably many years before that.
It also didn't help that the average of 6.05 million viewers came at the beginning of the important May ratings "sweeps."

Meanwhile, ABC's "World News" recorded its widest advantage in viewership over NBC's "Nightly News" since the week Peter Jennings died in August 2005. The victory, ABC's ninth in 13 weeks over NBC, adds to the sense that Charles Gibson is eclipsing Brian Williams as the nation's favorite network news anchor.

"World News" averaged 8.1 million viewers last week (5.7 rating, 12 share). NBC's "Nightly News" had 7.5 million viewers, its fourth- lowest figure since at least 1987 (5.3, 12), and CBS had a 4.3 rating and 9 share. The year 1987 is a benchmark because that's when Nielsen began using its "people meter" technology.

4. To bad they had to pick catty couric to be the first woman to

hold the anchor chiar solo. I coulda told them it wouldn't work. So now they will say "oh, a woman just can't pull in the viewers" when what they should be saying, is "why the f*ck did we pick catty?"

10. According to Media Research Center

Couric has a definate liberal bias. :rofl:

11. The Media Research Center sees "liberal bias" everywhere ... even on Fox News.

They're a complete waste of flesh ... and electricity.

Who's laughing now, les moonves? You or Dan Rather?

7. CBS news almost contains no news at all, worst bazillion dollar mistake in news

history.

If they can'y bring back Dan then at least bring back Bob.
