... WRONG!!
Katie's replacement is at WRC-TV, the NBC O & O in DC, exactly where she came from.
Her name... Eun Yang!
Eun (pronounce "un")has been reporting and anchoring for WRC for a couple of years and was at WUSA prior to that.
Not only that she is intelligent, well grounded, attractive, and is not afraid of hard work... plus she's done the mornings most of her career.
Just my fifty cents worth... now it is your turn!

The last time a local news personality was successfully plucked from obscurity and thrown into the cast of TODAY as a cohost was Jane Pauley -- and she wasn't even cohost, her title, at first, was "regular member of the TODAY cast" which at that time was anchored by Tom Brokaw.
Sure Rene Syler came from local news, but she's still obscure and part of an ensemble. Lisa McCree was from local news (unless you count her overnight stint with Aaron Brown), and she was a disaster. NBC won't just throw an unknown face on viewers. The person will be in-house, and a familiar presence (though, mark my words, Katie's not leaving anytime soon).
