Video of Katie Couric behind the scenes

Ah, the PR machines are in full motion. Today Lost Remote received an email from AOL with links to two clips of Katie Couric behind the scenes at CBS gearing up for her debut next week. (The clips are highlighted on the AOL Television section.) Both are a glimpse into Couric’s hectic pre-launch life, and the second clip shows a few seconds of the new CBS Evening News set. There’s been plenty of talk about whether CBS is trying to morph Couric into a more serious newswoman, but these clips illustrate she’s not taking this too seriously. Very smart move to release the clips to AOL (and hence bloggers), and frankly, it’s refreshing to see a network news anchor who’s not uptight on camera.
