Actors and Sports stars are in a different league...no pun intended...we expect big salaries from them and I don't think anyone bat's an eyelash anymore when we hear of their deals...
Actually, what I was trying to get across here is that I think when people sit down to find out the news of the day, they want a someone they can relate to, a trusted source and they want to be able to identify with the person giving them that information...Does he really need $25 million a year to deliver a few lines of news every morning? I don't think so...Matt's become too high maintenance with a salary to match...besides that, NBC is coming off looking like they're laying the whole thing on Ann Curry's shoulders which I think makes people turned off even more...
Matt is their so called "star", so if the star can't seem to hold America's attention at the news desk, then they have a lot of nerve trying to pawn it off as solely being Ann's doing...
I think people are switching to ABC because it's got more of a homey and identifiable atmosphere...
Whatever the case is, NBC is now eating ABC's dust

To clarify, I don't watch The Today Show (or Good Morning America for that matter), nor am I a fan of Ann's so I am not talking from a point of being biased towards Ann...and since I have been observing this whole situation from the position of being neutral to both parties, I do believe that my thoughts of what MIGHT HAVE caused their ratings slump actually does hold some merit to it...
If nothing else, we're all entitled to our opinions...
