Norah O'Donnell, seen here during CBS News election coverage in 2018, will be the new anchor of"CBS Evening News." The division’s president, Susan Zirinsky, announced major on-air talent changes Monday for the network’s ratings-challenged evening newscast and morning program.As expected, She will also be a contributor to “60 Minutes.”
“CBS This Morning” had five straight years of ratings growth with Charlie Rose, King and O’Donnell as co-hosts. But viewers have been leaving since Rose was fired over sexual harassment allegations in November 2017. In recent weeks the program has trailed NBC’s “Today” and ABC’s “Good Morning America” by around 800,000 viewers.
CBS News is hoping that having a Washington-based broadcast during a hotly contested presidential election cycle will distinguish it from “ABC World News Tonight With David Muir” and “NBC Nightly News With Lester Holt.” “CBS Evening News” has averaged 6 million viewers in the 2018-19 TV season, compared with 8.9 million for ABC and 8.4 million for NBC, according to Nielsen data.
A major obstacle for “CBS Evening News” has been the weak ratings performance of its owned TV stations. The audience lead-ins from local news programs to “CBS Evening News” run well behind ABC and NBC in Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas and Detroit.
Ugh.
Booooo
Oh so it’s about left wing politics and the 2020 election. Ms. O’Donnell is very partisan in her reporting. You can read it on her face and hear it in her tone. It’s supposed to be fair reporting and it was with Jeff Glor.
That sucks, first John Dickerson, now Jeff Glor-big mistake.
Norah’s been angling for this since before jeffglor got the anchor seat. NorahODonnell

Opinion | Even George Washington May Be Erased From Our PastOpinion: A San Francisco mural has become the latest high-profile target of progressive history censors, writes Fergus M. Bordewich. good History is what it is, warts and all. Adults understand, social justice fascists have not a clue. If removing a mural makes one somehow fulfilled, one is truly empty and exceptionally ignorant. As long as they also erase San Fran, that’s not a bad deal
