As Rebecca Dana wryly wondered in The New York Observer: "What is gravitas? And why does it kick in at nightfall?" She quoted one network executive explaining that even women "like to get their news from other women in the morning and from men — husband figures — at night."

I can't believe this is even an issue worthy of comment. Haven't we gotten beyond such nonsense? Having said that, I think Couric will lose some of her following since she will have less opportunity to clown around like she can in morning. Of course, that may change and the evening news may become more like the morning news shows.

Here, the local evening news usually has two anchors, one female and one male, but its not unusual for them to substitute in a second woman when the male is absent although I have never seen them substitute a second man.
