Broadcast History

Yesterday was a big day in broadcast history.

It was 13 years ago that Katie Couric became the first woman to solo Anchor a network evening newscast.

Couric tweeted about the moment and so aptly pointed out that the industry has come a long way, but we still have a ways to go:

13 years ago today, I became the first woman to solo anchor the evening news. It's a day I will never forget, and even though we still have a ways to go, I'm so proud of all we accomplished and the progress that has been made since. pic.twitter.com/aKEDaH34AW
