Norah O'Donnell QUITS CBS Evening News for new role after 12 years as network anchor as she pens emotional farewell letter


Norah O'Donnell has quit CBS Evening News after 12 years as an network anchor.

Wendy McMahon, president and CEO of CBS News and Stations wrote in a memo to staff: 'In this new role, Norah will have the time and the support to deliver even more of the exceptional stories she is known.' Neeraj led the effort to retain and re-sign about a dozen of our biggest anchors and correspondents over the last year including Norah O’Donnell and Gayle King – and recruited a few new ones like Nate Burleson and Robert Costa,' the statement said. In March of that year, speculation ran rampant in the industry that that CBS might axe O'Donnell to her alleged 'toxic behavior' and purported $65,000-a-year wardrobe allowance.
