via press note:
This new :30 promo features the award-winning journalist, best-selling author and television personality Katie Couric warmly inviting viewers to check out her new talk show “Katie,” premiering September 10th in national syndication (check local listings or www.katiecouric.com). Broadcasting live every day from New York City in front of a studio audience, the daytime program will be timely and topical -- blending entertainment, information and stories of the day in a format that is engaging, compelling and interesting. Katie will explore what’s going on in the world, using her personal experience and insight to get to the heart of what matters most to viewers. The show will include powerful segments and thoughtful interviews with newsmakers, celebrities, and everyday people who have extraordinary stories to tell. Cleared in 95% of the US, “Katie” is distributed by Disney-ABC Domestic Television and is executive produced by Katie Couric and Jeff Zucker.
Oh I can’t wait. Said, dripping with sarcasm.
AWFUL!
As soon as the GH next episode promo stops running I will be turning to another station very quickly starting on Sept. 10th.
Don’t worry, this will fail harder than the Tony Danza talk show.
Doesn’t she look exactly like Sally Pressman who plays “Roxy” on “Army Wives?”
Don’t you love these “tender, caught unaware” shots? If the show fails, they should re-use that photo to sell bread spread.
I wish Katie nothing but the best and hope her show does great.
The funny part is – this will do well. People like Katie Couric. She wasn’t cut out for hard news but she was well liked on the “Today” show and I think that people miss THAT Katie. It will do well. And it will do well b/c ABC wants it to do well. This will last, GAA will replace GH and ultimately ABC will wind up where they want to be. With no daytime soap. They’ll claim innocence b/c they gave GH their 50th year anniversary. Those are my predictions
My pleas to revive the Marsha Warfield Show have again fallen on deaf ears.
Katie show will flop and fail!
These promos are terrible. I liked Katie, but who knows. I guess we will see if the format or show will be something people would want to watch everyday.
This “has-been” is phony. The liberal media try their best to prop-up an unappealing bias reporter who hates conservative and those who oppose her views. She fools people with her fake smile and attitude. Her bosses at ABC would do us a great service and send this “old dog” back to Miami to do the morning traffic report – less is better.
I ain’t even looking at the promo since I won’t even try out her show. The bigwigs need to stop with these bloody talk shows. That is not what the audience wants. They’d probably get better ratings with repeats of the cancelled soaps (in their heydey).
Great, another liberal talk show. I’ll watch Dr. Phil.
Am not interested in the New Katie Couric show. I loved her on The Today Show when she first appeared on it and on thru the years. I have seen her morph into something I no longer enjoy watching. I don’t know exactly what it is but I think her day is done.
Katie needs to invite all women named Katie to her audience on day.
I woud be the first to sign up
I see this failing just as badly as the revolution did…
