Viewers tuning into Monday’s edition of the CBS Evening News will be greeted by a reimagined broadcast that returns to the newscast’s New York roots—with a new ensemble team of journalists.
In place of Norah O’Donnell, John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois will be co-anchoring the Evening News out of the famed Studio 47 within CBS News’ Manhattan HQ.
The duo will joined by Margaret Brennan from Washington, D.C., and Lonnie Quinn, the chief weathercaster. Heading up the new Evening News squad is 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens, who will be the show’s supervising producer, while Guy Campanile is the executive producer.
A preview of the reimagined newscast aired during halftime on Sunday’s AFC Championship game on CBS. Dickerson and Dubois also appeared on Monday’s edition of CBS Mornings to talk about the anticipated relaunch

“People have the news all day in their pockets, and we’re not trying to compete with that,” Dickerson said in an interview with People Magazine. “What we can share is the perspective that comes from the deep reporting that our correspondents do.”
“John and I will debrief our correspondents each night,” DuBois added. “You’ll get context and insight. It will feel like people you know describing incredible things that they just witnessed. I’m excited to give our viewers nuggets of info that they won’t get anywhere else.”
