Second in the broadcast network competition to talk to Sarah Palin: Katie Couric.
The CBS anchor will spend two days on the road with the Republican vice presidential candidate as well as presidential hopeful John McCain, the network said Tuesday.
Couric's interview material will be aired Sept. 29 and 30 on the "CBS Evening News" and "The Early Show."
It's timed for just before the Oct. 2 vice presidential debate between Palin and Democrat Joe Biden.
ABC's Charles Gibson had the first in-depth network interview with Palin last week. She's also talking to Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity this week.
There's no word on whether Couric's interview material will appear on "60 Minutes," which competed hard to get the first Palin interview.
Awarding Couric the interview also appears to be a clear message from the McCain campaign to NBC News. Republicans have been unhappy with NBC, primarily because of the active support for Barack Obama voiced by MSNBC's Keith Olbermann.
So while Gibson and Couric have interviews with Palin, NBC's Brian Williams — who anchors the top-rated evening news program — has been snubbed so far.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Gibson is a more talented interviewer than Couric... but you can bet that Couric's questions will be much easier.
Sample Couric question: "What goes better with moose stew: biscuits or crescent rolls?"
