Norah O’Donnell Shifts Date For Final Anchor Broadcast


Norah O’Donnell’s final night anchoring the CBS Evening News is now January 23, 2025, CBS confirmed Friday.

O’Donnell, who announced in July that she was exiting the role, was to have had her final show January 24, but because of CBS Sports’ coverage of the PGA Tour’s Farmers Insurance Open that day, the CBS Evening News will be a West Coast-only edition.

The network shifted the date by a day so O’Donnell’s final show can be a full, national broadcast.

As previously announced, John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois are taking over as lead anchors beginning January 27 as the CBS Evening News returns to New York as its home base after five years Washington, D.C.

Ahead of the premiere of the revamped “CBS Evening News,” the network has released a promo that illustrates the power of its storytelling while also giving a glimpse into the show’s new look. The spot showcases various CBS News correspondents’ work reporting from the field, with an emphasis on conversation, connection and the “human side of the headline.”

These themes are woven in thanks to a voiceover that poses open-ended questions such as “What happens when you experience the story?” that are stacked so that the answer, at least according to the promo, is that “you get the all new ‘CBS Evening News’.”
