Yes, but technically that newscast is still dual anchor even though her co-anchor is recuperating from his woulds.
There have been a number of women who have anchored national newscasts, including Maria Shriever (Mrs. Governator). Campbell Brown anchored for Brian Williams when he had a family crisis a couple of weeks ago.
I think that Couric is the first woman to be chosen as the full time, single anchor of a network newscast.
