Katie Couric, Jeff Zucker, and syndication company Disney-ABC Domestic TV have begun pitching Couric’s new daytime show to ad agencies and clients, the New York Post reported today.

Disney-ABC execs are reportedly saying that the show will be a combination of news and personal stories, filmed live in New York, although Couric will occasionally shoot outside the studio.
