CBS News London Bureau Chief Andy Clarke to Exit After 37 Years at Network

CBS News London bureau chief Andy Clarke, a 37-year CBS News veteran who was responsible for dispatching journalists around the world, announced last week that he would be stepping down. According to the New York Post, Clarke’s exit comes after disagreements with CBS News co-president Neeraj Khemlani over budget cuts, with the Post citing sources close to the network.

The Post added, citing network insiders, that Clarke’s breaking point came when Khemlani initially refused to pay to extradite Afghan journalists and fixers who worked for CBS last year when Pres. Biden ordered U.S. troops to leave Afghanistan.

A CBS News spokesperson told the New York Post: “There have been no cuts to resources or requests denied out of Afghanistan. We are in investment mode—whether it’s growing the number of employees, which is up year-over-year, or creating more inventory across our shows for international reporting or working with an outside firm to build a tech solution that will help our newsgathering.”

The spokesperson then added: “These claims are patently false and made further ridiculous after we just delivered a live hour co-anchored from Ukraine on our streaming channel.”
