Overview

• Harvey, a veteran producer at the program since 2017, becomes only the second woman to lead the 77-year-old broadcast.
• She succeeds Guy Campanile, who had overseen a two-anchor overhaul and is returning to 60 Minutes.
• The recent format featured John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois in a correspondent-forward approach that underperformed in the ratings.
• CBS has already moved to emphasize breaking news, with DuBois reporting from Minneapolis this week and Dickerson recently on the ground in Alaska.
• The leadership change comes as the newly merged Paramount-Skydance plans fall budget cuts and installs an ombudsman under FCC merger conditions.
