The Los Angeles Times says news personality Katie Couric is headed to an afternoon talk show on ABC.
Couric stepped down as co-host of NBC’s “Today” show to become anchor and managing editor of the CBS Evening News in 2006 (she was the first solo female anchor in network television history). On Thursday, Couric signed off from that program for the last time.
Here’s her goodbye. Will you miss her? Sound off in the comments below.

At first I wasn't sure I'd like Katie as an anchor. On the morning shows she seemed a little too girly and full of fun for the serious job of anchor on the evening news. However, she won me over. I think she did a great job and while being serious about reporting serious stories, she also managed to keep a little "lightness" in her broadcast. I was so proud to be of a generation when finally--FINALLY--a woman was chosen as sole anchor of the evening news after 50 something years of watching mostly male faces. Thanks for taking the job, Katie!
