Couric Departure Doesn’t Hurt Today

Published on June 20, 2006
NBC's Today show hasn't suffered yet from the departure of Katie Couric, The AP reports via Yahoo News. Today beat second-place "Good Morning America" of ABC by an average of 1.3 million viewers in the two weeks following Couric's last show on May 31, according to Nielsen Media Research. The NBC show's margin of victory (5.85 million to 4.92 million) was tighter during Couric's last full week on the air. Still, the "Today" viewership the first week post-Couric was at its lowest since last Christmas.
