DuBois’s exit comes just months after Dickerson announced his own departure from the network in October. The pairing of DuBois and Dickerson was brief, lasting less than a year.
Network Transition and Future Plans
CBS has not yet revealed who will take over the anchor positions previously filled by the legendary Walter Cronkite. Recent recruitment efforts by Bari Weiss, who took charge of the CBS news division in October, indicate a possible shift in strategy. Weiss appears to be exploring external candidates rather than promoting from within the network.
Recognition and Farewell
Tom Cibrowski, CBS News’s president and executive editor, acknowledged DuBois’s significant contributions in a statement. “Maurice has long represented what we do best at CBS News and Stations,” he said. Cibrowski praised DuBois for his dedication and commitment over the past two decades.
- DuBois has delivered major news stories from both the studio and the field.
- Cibrowski expressed hope for future collaboration and wished DuBois success.
In his farewell message on Instagram, DuBois described his role as “the Honor of a Lifetime,” expressing gratitude for connecting with viewers and sharing compelling stories.
Looking Ahead
The upcoming changes at CBS Evening News signal a pivotal moment in its broadcast history. As the network searches for new anchors, viewers await more information about the future direction of the program.
