Katie Couric’s new syndicated talk show, “Katie,” is set to premiere on Monday, September 10th.

Executive producer Jeff Zucker made the announcement this week in an internal webcast with the stations that will air “Katie.”  Zucker also unveiled the show’s logo (right), and announced a couple of key additions to its staff.

Joe Terry, who spent 14 years as the director of “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” has been named director, and Kathy Samuels has been hired as co-executive producer.  Samuels had a hand in launching “Rachael Ray” and “Access Hollywood.”
