Overview
- DuBois announced on Instagram that his final broadcast will be Dec. 18, concluding a 21-year run at CBS-owned outlets including WCBS.
- Co-anchor John Dickerson said in October he would leave, ending their less-than-year-long pairing on the network’s flagship newscast.
- CBS offered no immediate comment on replacements as leadership under editor in chief Bari Weiss and president Tom Cibrowski retools the program.
- A recent shift toward longer, magazine-style segments failed to grow the audience, which has averaged roughly 4.1–4.26 million viewers and trails ABC and NBC, with weaker 25–54 demo numbers.
- Outlets report Weiss has approached outside anchors but many are bound by contracts, and the broader revamp follows the Skydance merger and a $16 million settlement tied to a 60 Minutes interview.
