Katie Couric jumps from one network to
the other as a test of popularity: she is going to host 'Good Morning
America' for a week, a show she once was in competition with back
when she was hosting NBC's 'Today'. ABC wants to put her through this
test before her talk show goes on syndication next fall. Will you
watch Katie Couric on 'Good Morning America'?
I think the 'Today' fans will be
disappointed to see Couric hosting the show they missed every day
because they were dedicated to NBC. Fans have chosen to their
favorite show and made it a part of their day – networks could at
least show a little respect by not questioning these choices.
Does Couric really has a chance? On
Monday, 'Good Morning America' will have exciting guests, movie
director James Cameron and governor Nikki Haley while Couric will
interview Camille Grammer, Eva Longoria and Rascal Flatts: these
names are obviously harder to recognize.
CBS is approaching this battle of the
networks with heavy artillery: the Monday edition of 'This Morning'
will feature Oprah Winfrey. Couric is good, but she is no match for
Winfrey.
Which network will you watching? Aren't
these shows too similar anyway? I honestly can't tell the difference
between 'Today' or 'Good Morning America' or any other similar
morning show. It is obviously too early to discuss important news and
to have interesting guests come to the studio. The audience is stuck
at home with nothing to do: the time is perfect to get them
interested in the other shows of the network by interviewing stars
from these shows and to tell them what to buy in what is presented as
a modern and exciting lifestyle. Does it matter if Couric is on ABC
instead of NBC? She will be doing the exact same thing anyway.
