More on Diann Burns, the $2MM woman:

The handwriting is on the wall for Diann Burns, who’s in the final months of a five-year contract reportedly worth $10 million.
In luring Burns from top-rated ABC-owned WLS-Channel 7 and signing her to what probably was the most lucrative local TV news deal ever, WBBM-Channel 2 boss Joe Ahern bet the ranch that she would substantially boost ratings for the CBS-owned station.
He lost the bet.
Although Burns’ contract runs through October, insiders say a change in the 10 p.m. anchor lineup could come as early as June, when Channel 2 unveils its brand new studios in the Loop.
In the meantime, Burns’ agent/husband, Marc Watts, is busy shopping his No. 1 client.

Sounds a lot like Katie Couric if you ask me. Keep in mind how many jobs could have been saved if the local CBS station hadn’t blown $10 million on Burns.
