If Couric Doesn't Re-Sign With CBS, Zucker's Interested In Having Her Back NY Times

CBS's Katie Couric's contract is coming to an end and there has been talk of what she will do when her contract is up. CBS is in 3rd place when it comes to television ratings and there has been talk of Couric leaving the station.NBC C.E.O and president Jeff Zucker says that he would be happy to have her back at NBC and that they would consider rehiring her if she became a "free agent". I remember the big deal that went on when she first decided to switch to CBS and how much money they offered her and I'm wondering if NBC will be willing to negotiate pay if she chooses to go back to NBC. It was said that there's also talk of her moving to CNN. My thing is that if they see that she didn't really make a difference in the ratings on CBS then why not try something new. I feel like they could hire a new fresh face that the public would like and possibly gain them higher ratings not to mention not having to pay millions of dollars to the newbie. From what the article was saying though basically Couric has a lot of options and will not be at a loss for a job, which is really good for her. It looks like Miss Couric is in demand these days.
