No wonder Les Moonves religiously plays U.P.O.D (Under Promise,Over Deliver). Its for reasons like the over hyped arrival of Katie Couric to the CBS Evening News desk and first week ratings being too good to be true. Ms. Couric's news cast has been dropping down the ratings charts. We guess propping herself up on the desk and showing her famous stems isn't cutting it anymore. Next she may have to tie in some waldrobe malfunctions to spike ratings up a bit.

Nielsen isn't loving Katie Couric, whose ratings have consistently fallen in the five weeks she's been on the air as anchor of the CBS Evening News. Last week the former Today star's broadcast averaged 7.04 million viewers, putting her in third place behind NBC's Nightly News, with 8.56 million, and ABC's World News, with 7.97 million, the Associated Press reports based on Nielsen Media Research.
