Maybe Couric is good fit at CBS

Last week I blogged about Katie Couric and how I didn't like CBS' decision to try her out as the host of its Evening News program.

Now I find myself eating my own words. I have watched the program via Internet clips and find the new format to be most pleasing. They even have clips of the news casts on the site so you can view them at your leisure.

No, CBS News did not pay me to retract my statement. I just jumped the gun a little bit, as we all do from time to time. I will admit that I think Couric is doing an admirable job in her new post. I never thought I would say that, but she is.

I also mentioned in my previous blog post that CBS should step it up a bit and go with more advanced methods of news broadcasting, e.g. blogs and online information.

And they have done that, too. So, CBS News, I say kudos to you. I think you have done a great job revamping the Evening News broadcast. And maybe you have a new fan.
