Moonves: Let’s Give Couric A Break

“She’s been on the air for nine months. Let’s give her a break,” Les Moonves said of Katie Couric today.

The AP has a full recap: “Moonves said he ‘absolutely’ had confidence in Couric and the direction that CBS’s evening was going, saying it was imperative to reach younger audiences. Evening news broadcasts couldn’t continue to have audiences that are mainly over 60, Moonves said, otherwise ‘the evening news will die.'”
