Ann Curry - Should Ann Curry Take The $10 Million And Run?

It certainly seems as though that $10 million will be softening the blow for Curry. It's yet to be seen whether or not she will leave the show without a fight; there's been barely a mutter from her, so far but it's expected that she'll take the money and run. Where she'll be running to, of course, is also cause for speculation. It's most likely that she'll return to her roots as a news anchor, most likely to work for a news network such as CNN. New York Post reported yesterday (June 25, 2012) that Cnn are in the market for a personnel revamp and Curry would be the ideal candidate for a place there.

Matt Lauer, Curry's co-host on the Today show has reportedly just signed a $25 million a year deal to remain with Nbc. The show makes the network around $200 million profit, so that $10 million might be a substantial pay-off for Curry but it's small change for one of the biggest networks on US television.
