一句话看懂
CBS brings back Norah O'Donnell to co-anchor CBS Mornings starting 8 September. The move aims to boost ratings amid competition from NBC and ABC.
背景
Norah O'Donnell previously co-hosted CBS This Morning from 2012 to 2019 before moving to the CBS Evening News. After stepping down from the evening anchor role post-2024 election, she was replaced by Tony Dokoupil, creating a vacancy on CBS Mornings. The show has struggled in ratings, averaging 1.62 million viewers in July compared to NBC's 2.77 million and ABC's 2.79 million, and hit a historic low in late July. CBS hopes O'Donnell's reunion with Gayle King will stabilize the show.
