honestly...what do you think...and let's try to get beyond the first
female anchor ever thing....I just want to know if you think someone
is worth 20 million a year with her talent(s), man OR woman.
Is her chirpy, tupperware-lady, airline stewardess, hug a Koala Bear and Coach handbag temperament really worth 20 mill?

BTW, I've read a bit about Katie lately, and its said that while on the Today show she boasted about her 15 mill contract, and was more than happy to have the general public know she was making that much. Evidendally she was thrilled to have it aired
in the papers.
Turns out it was the same with her CBS 20 mill contract. She supposedly made sure everyone, including the press, was well aware of that fact, even though her publicist wanted her to keep in under wraps
so as not to tarnish her girl-next-door image.
She's far more materialistic than you folks
would believe, and she's supposedly a terror to work with according to staff that have had the unfortunate experience of working with her over the years.
The "America's sweetheart" image is just a concerted front.

another BTW, she's guaranteed that 20 mill
a year for 7 years, so if CBS chooses to let her go, they are stuck with the whole shebang......

Honestly!

If someone is willing to pay her that much then I guess she is worth it.

No. When she did the Today show she use to drive me insane. Especially when doing interviews, she would ask a question, then cut the person off before they could fully answer the question.

No anchor is worth 20 million a year to read a prompter. But I guess it's really not about the news, instead its about the advertising.

She does a pretty good job, but to pay her 20 million dollars a year means that some really "deep pocket" advertisers have to pay through the nose to place an advertisement. Guess who ends up in the long run having to pay the increased price of the products, in order for the advertiser to pay his advertising bill? Its called trickle down economy and though divided among all the people in the US it will probably be pennies per capita, its still too much money.

Anyone who gets 20 million for working in television doesn't deserve it. Some people work their hardest throughout their lives and never get to see anything close to that amount. It's ridiculous that someone like Katie Couric can get so much money because she's a perky anchor.

I thought it was a 15 million $ contract ? Anyway, I figured out that she makes $65,000 a day at 15 Mil contract, NOW HERE'S THE "CAPPER" ! she is complaining that she's tired, personally I think she sux, and used the passing away of her husband to get sympathy AND more $ ! she's "FUGLY" too !

If she can get someone to pay her 20 mil a year.....good for her.

I don't watch network news.

I resent the comparison....I am a "tupperware lady" and I'm not chipper at all!

I really don't care for her much.

I heard that the called her "Mommy dearest," behind her back.

Her new show is really boring.

No she's not worth it.
