CBS Evening News with Katie Couric to use web

CBS will become the first network to offer a live simulcast of its evening news broadcast on the Internet, when Katie Couric becomes anchor of the 'CBS Evening News' on Sept. 5.

The network also announced a number of other new broadcast features that will be available online and on other platforms, including:

• "Couric & Company" – a blog exploring the day's news through links to exclusive, free video, and contributions from CBS News correspondents around the world.

• "Eye to Eye" – a daily, on-demand web-exclusive feature hosted by Couric offering extended interviews with top newsmakers. The segment will be posted on CBSNews.com by mid-afternoon and will be available for audio and video podcast and on iTunes.

• "CBS News First Look with Katie Couric" - a web-exclusive rundown, available early each weekday afternoon, of the stories being considered for coverage on that night's broadcast.

• "Katie Couric’s Notebook" – a one-minute look at top story or issue by Couric, available as an audio and video podcast and on iTunes.

Best wishes! I remember meeting you and your family at UVA when my son graduated in'92. You gave a great talk. Since then, I have been your faithful viewer. I am going to try to be disloyal to Brian Williams and switch over to you. Lots of good luck!

No different from past anchors, all newsbites,comercials and plenty of gimmick.

What a letdown after Bob Schieffer!! It should be called "News Light"!! A bare mention of the change at Ford, and no word about 10000 laid off at Intel But 2 minutes about childrens' portraits. Wow!! What geat news!!
We might as well watch "ET" and see more pictures of Tom's baby.---
