More-ales from June - September 2006

Speculation about Morales' candidacy to replace Katie Couric as anchor of Today was put to rest when Meredith Vieira was named Couric's replacement. Morales had been previously thought to be a candidate, along with Campbell Brown and Ann Curry.^[1] It is believed that Morales will stay in her role in the third hour of 'Today' due to the fact that she signed a long-term contract with NBC News for the next four years. From June to September 2006, Morales will have news anchor as well as co-hosting duties on The Today Show. (Natalie Morales on Wikipedia)
