Andy Rooney On Couric's Move: "I Don't Know Anybody At CBS News Who Is Pleased That She's Coming Here"...


After confirming for "Today" show viewers yesterday what she called "the worst-kept secret in America," Katie Couric will join the "CBS Evening News" in September with plans to make significant changes, and do some experimenting, in her new role as anchor and managing editor.

Couric, who was torn about leaving NBC, was convinced by conversations with top CBS executives that she could do more than merely tinker with the evening news format, which has remained fairly stable for half a century, said sources at both networks and people familiar with her thinking.
