Couric channel launches on YouTube

Don Day February 1st, 2008

“We wanted to let more people take a look… so we established this channel on YouTube” - Katie Couric about her new channel on the video sharing site, which right now features a series of “Primary Questions” to some of the candidates running for president. Best line from the intro video (below): “Hello YouTube viewers. You know, it’s nice to be on YouTube for a change when I know the cameras are rolling… Harry Shearer I’m going to get you! Anyways…” Of course, she’s referring to this and this.

    You misspelled Couric in the headline on the homepage.

    Isn’t Sumner still suing Google? Does Katie know?

    On the internet, on the TV, there is just something about her that is not authoritative enough…

    Something about her? She doesn’t have an authoritative pore on her over-manicured body!

    Someone needs to take up a collection and get her photog a set of sticks. The rocking back-n-forth is awful in some of the clips.

    They are the CBS Evening News, you’d think their production standards would be a bit higher than the usual YouTube fare.

    Amanda,

    The “rocking back-n-forth” camera is hip tv. It’s what all the kids like. Don’t you ever watch MTV?

    “hip tv” my hinny, looks more like that photog was on an all-night bender before he came to work.

    Joe - Viacom is suing YouTube/Google, but CBS has a YouTube channel which they use to distribute several clips a day. (Click my name for CBS’ User Profile)
