Like it or not people want the main news (basically the front page of that day's NYT) quick and fast THEN gear down and give a longer explanation of certain issues. Unfortuneately the only issues that seem to get any long drawn out attention is anything to do with the elderly and medicine (often the same issue) because they are supposedly the only ones watching.
Couric tried to make it too soft and too informal. People still like the first 8-10 minutes to be the major stuff they need to know-it doesn't allow for a full reporting often but that is how the format works.
