Multiple outlets report that CBS Evening News continues to see weaker performance in ratings following leadership changes at CBS News. The coverage notes that viewer figures for CBS News have declined since Bari Weiss was named editor-in-chief last year, and that CBS’s evening flagship is struggling to maintain its audience share. One report highlights that CBS’s standings in the evening news race are slipping as ABC anchor David Muir draws more viewers, with attention focused on competitive momentum across major broadcast networks.
The articles also frame the issue as part of broader “setbacks” at CBS News, rather than a single isolated broadcast problem. They do not provide detailed explanations for the ratings movement beyond describing the competitive shift against ABC and the overall decline noted after Weiss’s appointment. The reporting focuses on broadcast viewership outcomes and newsroom performance in the ratings, comparing CBS’s results with those of competing programs during the same period.
