CBS News is moving to a new trio for "CBS This Morning."
Gayle King is expected to remain at the program, and will be flanked by Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil, according to two people familiar with the matter. As Variety reported in February and March, CBS News has other plans for King's two current co-anchors, John Dickerson and Norah O'Donnell. Dickerson is widely expected to take up a role with "60 Minutes," according to people familiar with talks, while O'Donnell has been in discussions to take over the anchor seat at "CBS Evening News."
CBS News declined to comment on any speculation about anchor moves, a position it has maintained for several weeks.
But the news unit has been in the midst of a top-to-bottom review, under President Susan Zirinsky, who took the new role in March. Many of CBS News' flagship programs have struggled in the ratings after a series of talent switches placed new anchors at "CBS This Morning," "CBS Evening News" and "Face the Nation." The standout has been "60 Minutes," which has continued to win big audiences even as it was in the midst of a transition between executive producers.
