Airing Thursday, December 15, 9-11pm

          From political and economic revolutions and the death of a terrorist, to a 72 day celebrity marriage and a royal wedding for the ages, 2011 has been an eventful year.  Anchored by Katie Couric, ABC News and People collaborate on an unprecedented two-hour primetime broadcast special, with details on these and all the other big stories of the past year: from the everyday heroes who inspired a nation, to the public figures who fell from grace; from the fresh faces who had breakthrough years in entertainment, to the icons who said goodbye after years of success.   Couric's reports will cover everything from fashion to law, and include interviews with newsmakers, celebrities and other guests who have a uniquely humorous take on the past year's top stories. "The Year With Katie Couric" airs Thursday, December 15, (9:00 – 11:00 pm ET) on the ABC Television Network.
