The Today Show

Couric leaves NBC and joins CBS, where she is set to become first solo female anchor in weekday evening network news history.

I wanted to tell all of you out there who have watched the show for the past 15 years that after listening to my heart and my gut — two things that have served me pretty well in the past — I’ve decided I’ll be leaving Today at the end of May. I really feel as if we’ve become friends through the years.
