This move follows the resignations of the current evening show co-hosts John Bickerson and Maurice DeBois. CBS aims to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >regain viewers&#8217; trust amid widespread skepticism<\/a> toward the media. CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss praised Dokoupil for his commitment to conventional journalistic values like asking tough questions, following facts, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-atf-nominee-ran-for-ag-in-2018-on-fighting-corruption-he-then-represented-white-collar-crooks\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s ATF Nominee Ran For AG In 2018 On Fighting \u2018Corruption.\u2019 He Then Represented White Collar Crooks\">holding power accountable<\/a>. CBS News President Tom Cibrowski echoed these sentiments, calling Dokoupil authentic and the ideal choice for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-suspect-dangles-from-power-lines-attempts-dangerous-escape-from-police\/\" title=\"WATCH: Suspect Dangles From Power Lines, Attempts Dangerous Escape From Police\">evening news anchor<\/a> role. Dokoupil, who joined CBS in 2016, has interviewed many prominent figures and will begin his new position with a nationwide tour to connect with viewers and emphasize trust and truth. This personnel change is part of broader efforts at CBS News, including Weiss&#8217;s recent appointment as editor-in-chief following the acquisition of the *Free Press*.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">CBS News to move morning co-host to evening as viewers are &lsquo;hungry for fairness&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2427160\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>CBS News announced on Wednesday that it will move <em>CBS Mornings<\/em> co-host Tony Dokoupil to its evening line-up as the network seeks to win back viewers who have &ldquo;lost trust in the media.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Dokoupil will <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/tony-dokoupil-named-anchor-cbs-evening-news\/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab8d&amp;linkId=886767176\">host <em>CBS Evening News<\/em> starting Jan. 5<\/a>, 2026, around seven years after he began co-hosting <em>CBS Mornings<\/em> with Gayle King and Nate Burleson. <em>CBS Evening News<\/em> co-hosts <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DQULfeqkXyE\/?hl=en&amp;img_index=3\">John Bickerson<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DR2T2RhAPu_\/?img_index=1\">Maurice DeBois<\/a> announced their resignations in October and last week, respectively.
