Couric confirms she's leaving 'CBS Evening News'
Katie Couric confirmed that she is leaving the ratings-basement CBS Evening News, less than five years after she became the first woman to lead a network TV evening newscast by herself.
Scott Pelley, a correspondent for CBS' ``60 Minutes'' since 2004, will replace Katie Couric as anchor of the ``CBS Evening News,'' the network said in a statement on its website Tuesday.
