Norah O’Donnell Shifts Date For Final ‘CBS Evening News’ Broadcast As Anchor – Update
deadline.comUPDATED with date change: 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.
