Katie Couric’s daytime talk show is definitely creating a lot of buzz as her upcoming nationally syndicated talk show “Katie” has been cleared in over 60% of the U.S.
The daytime talk show (which is produced in conjunction with Disney-ABC and Executive Producer Jeff Zucker) is slated to premiere on September 2012 and achieving the clearance in six weeks is a major accomplishment.
Janice Marinelli, president of Disney-ABC Domestic Television said, “To have garnered such exceptional clearances in this short period of time is attributable to the enduring strength of the Katie Couric brand and her wide-ranging appeal as one of the brightest, most talented and most dynamic personalities in the business. We are enormously pleased to partner with such a stellar group of stations across the country.”
Katie Couric currently serves as a member of the ABC News team. In June 2011, Disney/ABC Television group signed a multi-year, multi-platform agreement with the award-winning journalist.
