CBS News has moved fast to reconfigure the “CBS Evening News” after announcing the exit of Norah O'Donnell as anchor of the third-rated newscast earlier this week. The network said John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois will be co-anchors of the evening news, starting sometime after the presidential election.

DuBois, a veteran anchor for CBS’ local affiliate in New York City, has also contributed reporting to various CBS newscasts. The storied newscast, which Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather and Katie Couric have anchored, has been third in the ratings to ABC’s “World News Tonight” and NBC’s “Nightly News” for years. O’Donnell, who is becoming a special correspondent focusing on big interviews for CBS, didn’t move the needle.
Bill Owens, executive producer of CBS News’ most successful broadcast, “60 Minutes,” will also become supervisor of the evening news, said Wendy McMahon, president and CEO of CBS News and Stations. Owens appointed veteran “60 Minutes” hand Guy Campanile as executive producer of the evening news. The Washington-based Margaret Brennan, moderator of “Face the Nation,” will lead the broadcast’s coverage of political and foreign affairs. The evening news, which broadcast from a Washington studio to accommodate O’Donnell, will move back to New York, CBS said.
