Katie Couric signed off her first anchor evening at CBS News by saying she had "racked my brain" over what clever signoff to use each night. The brain racking came up empty; she said she had no good ideas. Then she showed examples of signoffs from Edward R. Murrow, Huntley- Brinkley, Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite and even from TV and movie anchor-spoofs Ted Baxter and Ron Burgundy.
Since she got no inspiration from the serious or the comedic, she invited the audience to send her ideas for a signoff.
One can only hope that isn't the biggest issue on the minds of Couric, CBS, or their audience.
