Norah O’Donnell is stepping down as anchor of CBS Evening News after spending five years as the face of the program. Puck‘s Dylan Byers reported on Tuesday (July 30) that O’Donnell will relinquish her anchor spot after the 2024 presidential election cycle in favor of a new deal with CBS that includes more platforms for her interviews and specials. She will still contribute to other CBS programs, including her current stomping grounds at CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes. O’Donnell told Byers, “The way our product is distributed is changing. How do we do those big interviews, that great storytelling, and share that in a different kind of way so it can reach a different kind of audiences?” Before becoming a CBS mainstay, O’Donnell worked for NBC’s smattering of programs, including as commentator for The Today Show, MSNBC correspondent, and contributor for NBC Nightly News and Dateline NBC.
