Ch. 10 confirms Vieira as Couric's replacement

Local NBC affiliate WJAR-TV, Channel 10, confirmed during its noon broadcast that Rhode Island native Meredith Vieira will replace Katie Couric on NBC's Today show.

Vieira worked for Channel 10 early in her career. Anchor Frank Coletta recalled her as a hard worker and said she was a good choice for the job.

Coletta cracked that Vieira had the "sloppiest desk in the newsroom" when she worked for Channel 10 -- even sloppier than his own.
