	Online NewsHour: Katie Couric -- October 29, 1999
		KATIE COURIC: Well, I've got one word why, and that's "money." The morning is an extremely lucrative time slot for network television and of course, if it's making money, everybody wants a slice of that pie.
		KATIE COURIC: Well, I think we've seen dramatic changes in viewing habits just in the morning, and conversely, at night, that fewer people turn on Walter or Huntley and Brinkley -- obviously they can't turn on those anymore -- but they don't sit at the dinner table anymore.
		KATIE COURIC: I think deal making is very dangerous in this business because you can be held hostage by a movie company, a publicist, an actor or an actress, an author, who wants maximum airtime but it gets into the editorial decision making where it's inappropriate.
