The "Today" show's stars wanted to talk about the past: A glorious 10-year winning streak. But what about the future: Is Katie Couric, the broadcast's leading lady, about to jump ship?

"There really is nothing to announce and nothing to report," said Couric at the outset of Thursday's teleconference.

Even as NBC's "Today" marks an unprecedented 520 weeks beating its morning competition - notably ABC runner-up "Good Morning America" - the rumor mill has focused on this key member of the winning team: Will Couric, who began her "Today" hosting chores in April 1991, be staying? Or might she leap to CBS to anchor its evening newscast?

"I know there's been a great deal of speculation in the press," Couric said. "My contract ends in May, and I'm trying to figure out what I'm gonna do. "I'm fortunate to have a couple of opportunities that I'm thinking long and hard about," she said. "But in terms of any imminent announcement, there won't be one."
