CBS This Morning: John Dickerson, Norah O'Donnell, Gayle King |
A thriving “CBS This Morning” was thrown into disarray by Charlie Rose’s sudden exit — and we’re told that top brass have come to believe that the show overall is not going to recover.
Rose was brought down by sexual misconduct allegations in November 2017, leaving Gayle King and Norah O’Donnell as anchors. They were later joined by John Dickerson.
But the impressive momentum that King, O’Donnell and Dickerson developed quickly faltered. “There are real discussions about just starting over — anchors, format, producers. Everything is on the table,” said an insider.
The news comes as the show’s executive producer, Ryan Kadro, is negotiating his exit.
CBS News President David Rhodes’ anchor moves have been disastrous.
He moved Dickerson from “Face the Nation” to the morning show, and replaced Scott Pelley with Jeff Glor on the evening news, which has lost more than 1 million viewers.
From a CBS News spokesperson: “We have an incredible anchor team, and we are looking forward to 2019.”
