Looks like winning that Edward R. Murrow has given Katie Couric a little bit of job security.

Despite most industry experts predicting that she would leave her post as the anchor of the CBS Evening News after the presidential election, Katie just told TV critics assembled for a CBS press tour, “We have no plans to part company anytime soon. There were a lot of speculative pieces that have been spun out of control. I’m very committed to the people and here and the product. I think [the rumors are] dying down considerable. I can’t control what media writers write. Sometimes we live in a bit of an echo chamber. I think people in your room are more fascinated by these things than people in real world. I spend every day focused on doing the best job I can. What I’m focused on and how I can serve 5 million viewers.”

CBS News president Sean McManus went on to say, "It’s not a discussion at CBS. We’re focused on doing our doing our day-to-day jobs."

Despite all the shitty ratings????

We'll have to suffer with her for a while longer.
