Katie effect fades; 'CBS News' No. 3

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 13, 2006 -- NEW YORK -- Katie Couric led the ''CBS Evening News'' to its first weekly ratings win in more than five years but her honeymoon may be short -- she slipped to third place on Monday.
Couric's debut last Tuesday brought in nearly 13.6 million curious viewers. The numbers dropped, as expected, through the rest of the week but she was in first place each day, according to Nielsen Media Research.

On Monday, the fifth anniversary of Sept. 11, an estimated 8.3 million people tuned in to NBC's ''Nightly News.'' ABC's ''World News'' had 7.9 million and Couric's broadcast had 7.5 million. That's the same order that as before Couric started.
