After being maligned for nearly two years over low ratings, Katie Couric is making a slight comeback (ratings up 5% from last year). The article from WashPo presents many reasons for this uptick (Palin interview, Obama "change message" has spilled over into traditional world of news, etc) and I can't help but wonder if this represents a new chapter in network news programs. Charlie Gibson (chair of ABC's evening news program) is 65 and probably won't be around for much longer. Will ABC follow CBS and choose a woman to replace him?
