CBS Likely to Cast New Eye on ‘Evening News’ After Wendy McMahon Exit
CBS is expected to take a new look at 'CBS Evening News,' which was dramatically overhauled earlier this year and has lost significant viewership
The show has lost a significant chunk of its viewership since a new format was unveiled in January that relies on the dual-anchor team of John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois, and a story mix that hinges more closely on enterprise and feature reporting than it does on breaking news. “NBC Nightly” is about to undergo a transition of its own, with Lester Holt stepping away from the desk he has occupied for about a decade and Tom Llamas, a former ABC News anchor who was seen as a possible successor for David Muir, moving into the role. That has spurred Paramount to put new pressures on “60 Minutes” in recent months that prompted Bill Owens, the show’s executive producer, to quit, and played a role in McMahon’s exit as well.
