For those who keep asking, no I haven't heard anything from my sources about NBC. My name is Les, I ain't in that mess.

Just some food for thought. NO rep at NBC or any network is going to tell a fan they are considering a multi-million dollar purchase.

I haven't heard of any networks of cablers being interested in AMC or OLTL from my sources. Just keeping it real with y'all.

[Mr. Vixen]

Well whatever Jamey.

[trish672]

Can't believe this ridiculous NBC rumor is still going strong. Who is supposed to be the source?

[dragonflies]

Some poster on twitter and of course people ran with it

Basically that person said they contacted NBC and it went from there

Fans need to come to terms with its cancellation. It's not going to be saved. Enjoy the last few months of the show.

She's so classy. I had no doubt but I'm glad she'll be back to help wrap the show.

Couric Said to Weigh Move to ABC as CBS Anchor Job Ends

By Ronald Grover and Alex Sherman - Apr 25, 2011 4:50 PM ET

Katie Couric is contemplating a move to ABC as she prepares to end her five-year run as the “CBS Evening News” anchor, according to people with knowledge of the situation.

Couric, 54, is expected to announce this week that she will leave the show and hasn’t made a final decision about her future, said the people, who weren’t authorized to speak publicly. Her contract with CBS ends June 4.

Both NBC and ABC are said to be discussing talk shows with Couric that would start in 2012, according to one executive with knowledge of the talks. ABC, part of Walt Disney Co. (DIS), has made a late run at Couric, said two of the people. The anchor and ABC News President Ben Sherwood met at least once for lunch to discuss the move, one person said.

Scott Pelley, a correspondent on “60 Minutes,” will take over for Couric as CBS anchor, one of the people said. Prior to joining “60 Minutes,” he was CBS News’ chief White House correspondent.

Couric is being advised by Jeff Zucker, former chief executive officer of NBC Universal and previously her producer at NBC’s “Today” show.

Neither ABC nor NBC would offer her the evening anchor position, one of the people said. She would likely work on specials, including the upcoming presidential elections.

David Ford, an ABC spokesman, declined to comment. Zucker didn’t respond to e-mails. Lauren Kapp, a spokeswoman for NBC, declined to comment.

The New York Times reported today that CBS would announce Couric’s departure this week. The newspaper said on April 5 that NBC had offered her a syndicated talk show.

‘60 Minutes’

CBS could still strike a deal to keep Couric in a role other than news anchor, said two people with knowledge of the situation. That may include reporting for “60 Minutes” and anchoring a syndicated talk show, according to one person familiar with the matter. CBS executives are interviewing candidates to be the executive producer of Pelley’s newscast, one person said.

Couric, the former “Today” show host, receives $13 million to $15 million a year under a five-year deal with CBS that started in 2006, people familiar with the matter said at the time.

Ratings at “CBS Evening News” have declined during Couric’s tenure.

“NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams” averaged 8.8 million viewers per day over the past five weeks, according to Nielsen Co. data provided by Brad Adgate, director of research at Horizon Media Inc. in New York. ABC’s “World News with Diane Sawyer” averaged 7.9 million. Couric’s “Evening News” averaged 5.6 million.

CBS fell 11 cents to $24.69 at 4:04 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares have gained 30 percent this year. Disney fell 34 cents to $41.93 and have climbed 12 percent this year.

Comcast Corp. (CMCSA), which controls NBC, fell 5 cents to $25.29 in Nasdaq Stock Market trading.

Oh, God, what is Carol going to do after AMC is no more? Is she even still watching?

[marceline]

I want Brot and Natalia to get a happy ending but at the same time if the show weren't ending I would be looking forward to seeing Brot's role in the whole Hubbard baby drama cause major friction between them. Honestly, I'd still prefer to see that and have the show end with Brot going to Philly and making some crazy Shonda Rimes-esque speech about how she's his heart and soul and if he has to beg, cheat, borrow, or steal he will make her see how much he loves her.

[Khan]

Ruh roh.

[Soapsuds]

Love Carol. Wouldn't it be funny if Susan Lucci sang that at the very end of the last show and closes the AMC picture album.

I like Scott Pelley. Maybe I can watch the CBS evening news now. Katie Couric should have stayed on the Today show.
