Award-Winning Journalist, Author and Television Personality Katie Couric returns to daytime television with a new talk show on September 10, 2012! The new show “Katie” will be aired on ABC and will focus on topics including parenting to pop culture, aging to activism, sex to celebrity, and the series will dedicate segments to the worlds of family, fashion, entertainment and technology and explore how they impact our day-to-day lives.

Katie Couric Daytime Talk Show

Blending information, stories of the day and entertainment in a format that is engaging, compelling and interesting, “Katie” will get to the heart of what matters most to viewers. Timely and topical, the show will include powerful segments and thoughtful interviews with newsmakers, celebrities and everyday people who have extraordinary stories to tell.

I had the chance to hear Katie Couric speak recently at the BlogHer conference in NYC and am so excited that she is returning to daytime television. Her eagerness to speak at a women’s blogging conference impressed me and shows that she is truly interested in connecting with real women.

Check out this “Katie” preview and hear “This Day”, the new “Katie” theme song by Sheryl Crow!
