CBS News chaos worsens as new presenters trigger ratings 'disaster' at woke network
CBS News is in the midst of a ratings crisis brought on by its new 'Evening News' format, former executives and producers have said.
'It's a disaster,' a former CBS News exec told DailyMail.com of the new dual-anchor set-up they framed as 'going to two anchors.'
Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson have since replaced longtime host Norah O'Donnell, leading to a more magazine-style, less headline-driven format noticeably different from the days of Walter Cronkite.
'It's been critically panned, ratings down week by week and from this time last year,' the source added.
'[Executive Producer] Bill Owens is also overstretched and feeling the pressure with this lawsuit from Donald Trump,' the insider said, days after the abrupt exit of CBS News and Stations' President of Editorial and Newsgathering Adrienne Roark.
The longtime 60 Minutes boss was enlisted to help oversee Evening News last summer. He was brought on by Wendy McMahon, the CEO said to be next on the chopping block amid a parade of exits.
It has also spawned a ratings slump that has raised alarm bells across the industry.
'I would say it's a five-alarm fire,' a veteran television news exec told Status on Friday about ratings seen last week.
'It's mind boggling,' a veteran producer who spent a decade at the network further said of the strategy. 'They took the "news" out of the "Evening News!" It's not surprising the audience is leaving in droves.'
Sure enough, statistics released by Nielsen last week supported the seasoned staffers' theories - with the exec who spoke to DailyMial.com pointing out how the show's total viewership is down 14 percent year-over-year.
'We expected this,' a person close to leadership, however, argued to Status's Oliver Darcy Thursday night. 'We are in this for the long term and are confident in our long game.'
But ratings - and accounts from TV veterans - perhaps indicate a collapse that can be traced to the recent implementation of the new format, which is now structured more similarly to 60 Minutes and even shows like Access Hollywood.
For the week of February 10, Evening News saw a 24 percent drop in the 25-54 demographic when compared to the same period as last year, Nielsen statistics show.
'That demographic is very important to advertisers,' the former exec who spoke to the DailyMail.com explained. 'The experiment is failing.'
The 'veteran' television exec who spoke to Status said more of the same, as numbers for CBS's evening competitors ABC World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News both slightly up.
'It's almost impossible to build it once you've lost it. So to have a drop off like that suggest that this asset… is circling the drain,' they said of the viewership.
'Why did McMahon and Owens decide to try to reinvent the "Evening News" in this challenging moment?' the industry insider went on to ask. 'Any excuse you give the audience to change their habit is a massive risk.'
'The habits are so fragile in this new media landscape. So if you give them an excuse to stop watching, they will.'
The former CBS exec who spoke to the newsletter echoed that opinion, calling the past several months 'one of the most consequential periods for news in years.'
'And [yet] they are often minimizing the biggest story of the day to 20 seconds.'
Evening News staffers had a similar reaction after the iconic show devoted just 22 seconds to Elon Musk and Donald Trump's Oval Office appearance last week.
Employees at CBS Broadcast Center in Manhattan told Puck how they were left 'confused' - and in some cases, 'upset' - by the decision, at a time where hard-hitting news was coming out of Washington at a record rate.
All major news stations led with the story and offered extensive coverage - while O'Donnell's replacements Dickerson and DuBois instead focused on lengthy features about the US education system, the flu and discovery of a rarely seen fish.
The historical importance of the White House appearance made the still-young strategy stand out all the more, spawning an overall sense of confusion.
'You have to try really hard to ignore huge stories,' the former CBS producer told Status, after Evenings buried their coverage of the Musk appearance in a roundup of the day's events seven minutes in.
