Couric's contract ends June 4 and the exit plan will give the network at least a month for a transition, according to the paper.It's unclear, however, if Couric will also reveal her post-Evening News plans this week, which have widely been reported to be a syndicated daytime talk show. As recently as April 13, Couric, who joined Evening News in 2006, told her former Today show co-anchor Matt Lauer that she was "not sure" about her future, but she discussed the advantages of a talk show.

"I think what might appeal to me is just the creative freedom to pick subjects," she said. "To really dig deep. To have a smart, intelligent conversation. You know me, Matt. I'm like, 'whaaa.' That's the kind of person I am, so it might be nice to have a little more wiggle room for me to show my personality."
