Katie Couric to interview Sarah Palin

updated 5:59 p.m. ET Sept. 18, 2008

NEW YORK - 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.

Fox News Channel announced that Palin would be interviewed by Sean Hannity on Wednesday and Thursday.

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.

There's no word on whether Couric's interview material will appear on "60 Minutes," which competed hard to get the first Palin interview.
