While viewership continues to slip and all that “Katie is leaving after the election” talk still swirls, it looks like the industry actually likes her show.

The CBS Evening News won the Edward R. Murrow Award for Ideal Newscast from the Radio Television News Directors Association the other night. ABC won the most awards, including Best Overall, Documentary, Hard news, Spot News Coverage, and Videography. Not really sure what the difference is between Ideal Newscast and Best Overall, but maybe Best Overall combines all facets of a TV network’s news division while Ideal Newscast just focuses on the 30 minute nightly show that the network does. Either way it’s something I’m sure you’re going to see in ads for The CBS Evening News.

CBS News also won for Ideal Web Site (I’d link to the full list of awards but the RTNDA site seems to be down right now.)
