Maurice DuBois to exit CBS — leaving ‘Evening News’ with no anchors amid Bari Weiss’ overhaul
CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss has been openly searching for a splashy outside hire to take over the perennially third-place evening news broadcast

.... The experiment, which also saw the show attempting to replicate elements of 60 Minutes’ newsmagazine style, never really took hold with viewers as ratings continued to sink. In the end, DuBois and Dickerson lasted less than a year behind the desk.

With Dickerson already announcing his departure in late October after 16 years with the network, DuBois told staffers on Thursday morning that his last day with both the Evening News and CBS will be December 18. Dickerson will also be exiting around that same time. ....

I'm not sure that an alleged pedophile/pedophile apologist/defender is what CBS really wants, unless "Child Banging Service" is what they're going for now, if Weiss did indeed suggest such a thing.

It had top shows and towering ratings. CBS also had “The Ed Sullivan Show”, the Sunday night dominator that introduced the Beatles to America.

You hadn’t arrived til you’d done “The Ed Sullivan Show”!

BOY how the mighty have fallen. What happened, CBS?

they'd have to install some kind of high capacity ventilation system in the studio to keep the crew from being overcome by peroxide fumes.
