Katie Couric's dismal ratings for the nightly CBS evening news will be addressed by adding a male anchor to her desk.

Rumor has it Couric is getting a co-host on the CBS Evening News and it's going to be a man.

The network was confident that Katie would be the archetype for more successful female news anchors, but the magic has yet to be realized in ratings.

CBS is in third for the ratings. Katie's Iraq trip also failed to pull in any ratings spike or additional audience.

Hollywood reporter Janet Charlton claims that "behind closed doors, the network had Anderson Cooper at the top of their wish-list for co-anchor, but he has an iron-clad contract with CNN. So the search is on."

HA HA. Katie can't do....HAS TO HAVE A MAN SAVE HER..HAHAHAHAHA!

How come everyone but CBS knew this would fail?

Classy, superdude. Your posts just get more and more relevant and substantial every day.

Not a huge fan, but, this lady was doomed from the start. You think all the suits a CBS would know alittle something about managing the consumer's expectations.
