Katie Couric will Anchor the CBS EVENING NEWS, Special Reports
And a Two-Hour Primetime Special on Tuesday, Feb. 5

CBSNews.com and CBS Radio News to Provide Continuous In-Depth Coverage

CBS News will provide aggressive and comprehensive coverage of the critical Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses being held in 24 states and one territory next Tuesday (5) on THE EARLY SHOW and the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC, as well as in a two-hour primetime special and in special reports throughout the evening anchored by Couric. CBSNews.com and CBS Radio News will also provide wall-to-wall continuous coverage of the day’s news and results.

On Feb. 5, 22 states and American Samoa will hold Democratic contests in which 41% of all delegates will be awarded. Also that night, 21 states will hold Republican contests with approximately 43% of delegates being awarded. When the final tallies are in on Super Tuesday, nearly half of the delegates to both parties will have been chosen and the country might well have an indication of who the eventual nominee of each party will be. (For a complete list of states holding events, go to CBSNews.com.)
