Not sure how to square these claims, but it’s an interesting dispute. From our friends over at The American Spectator:

CBS New anchor Katie Couric ordered staff to drop all references to “Governor” or “Gov.” from her interview with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. When a staff member pointed out that in other venues, Couric and CBS News had referred to Governor Palin’s opponent, Joe Biden, using his title of “Senator” or the abbreviation, Couric, according to a CBS News editorial aide, sought approval from CBS News management to drop the “Governor” reference during her broadcast interview with Palin that began on Wednesday night. “It’s not true,” said another CBS News source. “We treat everyone the same.”

I heard this a couple of times today. But in this transcript, Couric calls Governor Palin “Gov. Palin.” She does in this clip, too.
