He co-anchored the station&#8217;s 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts for <b>20 years<\/b>, building a reputation as a trusted and distinguished storyteller. Prior to his <b>WCBS<\/b> tenure, he worked at <b>WNBC-TV<\/b> in New York starting in <b>1997<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>In <b>January 2025<\/b>, DuBois was elevated to <b>CBS Evening News<\/b> as co-anchor, partnering with <b>John Dickerson<\/b>. Many viewed this as a prestigious role for the veteran journalist. However, his tenure at the national broadcast proved brief, lasting less than a year before his surprising announcement to depart.<\/p>\n<h2>Rapid Exit Amid Network Overhaul<\/h2>\n<p>DuBois announced his departure by posting on Instagram, writing: <b>&#8220;Moving on: December 18th is the day of my last broadcast at CBS News. It has been the Honor of a Lifetime. 21 years altogether, including my time at the CBS New York station.&#8221;<\/b> The announcement came as a surprise to many industry observers.<\/p>\n<p>His exit occurs during a significant period of transition at <b>CBS News<\/b>. The network has been undergoing major changes, including <b>Bari Weiss&#8217;s<\/b> expected leadership role in shaping the newsroom. Former CBS News President <b>Tom Cibrowski<\/b> praised DuBois in a statement acknowledging his contributions and distinguished career at the network. No specific reason has been publicly stated for his sudden departure.<\/p>\n<h2>Leadership Transition Timeline<\/h2>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Date<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Event<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>January 27, 2025<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson officially debut as CBS Evening News co-anchors<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>December 4, 2025<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>DuBois announces departure via Instagram, final broadcast December 18<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>December 18, 2025<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Maurice DuBois delivers final CBS Evening News broadcast (today)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>January 5, 2026<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Tony Dokoupil debuts as sole anchor of CBS Evening News<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Tony Dokoupil Emerges as Permanent Replacement<\/h2>\n<p><b>Tony Dokoupil<\/b>, a <b>44-year-old Emmy Award-winning journalist<\/b>, has been named the new anchor of <b>CBS Evening News<\/b>. Dokoupil, a Connecticut native, is transitioning from his role as co-anchor of <b>CBS Mornings<\/b>, where he worked alongside other morning show hosts. <b>CBS News<\/b> announced Dokoupil&#8217;s appointment on <b>December 10, 2025<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Dokoupil brings extensive experience to the evening broadcast. He has been a fixture at <b>CBS News<\/b> for years and represents a fresh start for the program. His debut as sole anchor is scheduled for <b>January 5, 2026<\/b>, giving the network time to transition leadership. Industry observers view Dokoupil&#8217;s appointment as the network&#8217;s effort to stabilize the evening news franchise during a period of significant corporate restructuring at <b>CBS<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2>What Does This Mean for CBS Evening News Future?<\/h2>\n<p><b>Maurice DuBois&#8217;s<\/b> departure, coupled with <b>John Dickerson&#8217;s<\/b> earlier exit, signals major changes for <b>CBS Evening News<\/b>. The broadcast has struggled in the ratings compared to <b>NBC Nightly News<\/b> and <b>ABC World News<\/b>, according to industry reports. The network&#8217;s new leadership direction under <b>Bari Weiss<\/b> appears focused on repositioning the program with fresh talent and emerging voices.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tony Dokoupil&#8217;s<\/b> appointment as sole anchor represents a significant shift away from the co-anchor model that <b>CBS Evening News<\/b> has employed since <b>Norah O&#8217;Donnell<\/b> departed in <b>2024<\/b>. Whether this change will move the needle for viewership and credibility remains to be seen, but the network clearly believes a new anchor structure and personality can help revitalize the flagship broadcast.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>CNN<\/b> &#8211; Maurice DuBois CBS Evening News co-anchor departure announcement and network transition details<\/li>\n<li><b>People Magazine<\/b> &#8211; Tony Dokoupil named new anchor of CBS Evening News and timeline of departures<\/li>\n<li><b>The New York Times<\/b> &#8211; CBS appoints Tony Dokoupil as anchor following Maurice DuBois exit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":26723,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"schema_org_data":"{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Maurice DuBois\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/kXBgqYK9k94AJKBrf98KCFi5LAy.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/2508024\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Tony Dokoupil\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/7tJTAokUR2sSL3xNSTWMWIEgxCD.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/3693312\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"John Dickerson\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/f6TGuUsGNx4p45X7GubneV2awN5.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/2440113\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Bari Weiss\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/9pa06iZHM4TfRhCRlCjsIfYuVZ.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/2247955\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Tom Cibrowski\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1218394\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Norah O'Donnell\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/wAZ9PQ4fQddyCfjaFZ2wrt5cEUQ.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1232737\"]},{\"@type\":\"TVSeries\",\"name\":\"CBS Evening News\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/eN7xnbYKO6NM2AQP9OE2KsKNSuf.jpg\",\"dateCreated\":\"1961-01-02\",\"aggregateRating\":{\"@type\":\"AggregateRating\",\"ratingValue\":4.9,\"bestRating\":\"10\",\"ratingCount\":8},\"description\":\"The CBS Evening News is the flagship daily evening television news program of CBS News, the news division of the CBS television network in the United States.
