Norah ODonnell in danger of losing anchor spot at CBS Evening News
Norah O’Donnell is in danger of losing the top spot at “CBS Evening News,” as cost-slashing execs at the broadcasting giant quietly search for her replacement amid sagging ratings, The Post has learned.
The 47-year-old news anchor — who muscled her way into the evening slot in 2019 as she fled a reportedly strained relationship with co-host Gayle King on “CBS This Morning” — now stands vulnerable to the network’s bean counters as her ratings have stayed stubbornly stuck in third place, according to sources close to the situation.

Network news simply does not matter anymore. Also from what I have heard Norah is a deeply nasty, cold and unpleasant person. As is her former colleague Charlie Rose.

R12 she is too "hard" for morning shows where news are usually blended in as fluff piece. The reason she got that job in the morning was at the time, CBS had no hope, they were dead last behind NBC and ABC, so they hired Norah, Charlie Rose and Gayle King and went on a different direction, they tried to present a more serious news program in the morning, separate themselves from NBC and ABC.

I like Norah except they make her sound like she is so excited about every story when announcing them in the beginning. I thought she did a fairly good job of trying to hide that she is a Republican. I was never able to figure out if she supports Trump or not. I know she voted for him but always wondered if she could see how bad he was in the coming years. I have actually like All the anchors that they have had and keep replacing so maybe it isn't the anchors but CBS itself. I detest their commercials which are on a loop so every night it's the same damned commercials, almost All pharmaceutical, I am wearing out my mute button and the commercials are so damned long. then at the end of the segment they say they will be right back and 5 minutes later they are back on to tell you what they will have for the next night. There's so little news that they can just waste the end of the program? I just turn it off 5 minutes before it ends now. It's CBS, not the reporters. If I was younger I wouldn't watch the news either because they way they have it programed it, it is aimed only at older people.

When you watch ABC and NBC's morning shows everyone seems to be legitimately happy (or at least they're faking it well). Their smiles and banter seem real and not forced...and then you get to CBS where Gayle just oozes, "I'm a miserable cunt".
Nothing about the CBS morning show seems real -- smiles and banter seem forced. Like when they go to! commercial I can see them all sitting in silence until they're on.
R47, yes and no...the last time I watched the show was shorty after Mason and Doukopil were brought on and they were talking about something that happened in the news (I can't even recall exactly what it was because it was something that was so mundane) and Doukopil gave his opinion and Gayle corrected him not with actual facts but with her own opinion. She would do it all the time to O'Donnell and the lady who gone so fast that I can't even remember her name. I think Charlie Rose kept Gayle's ego in check and once he was gone the beast was unleashed.

OK R47, R48, R49, we get it, you want to turn this into a race issue. I started watching the CBS morning show when Charlie came on board and it became my go to morning news. After his departure, I was unsure if Gayle was up to the task, Charlie had big shoes to fill. I thought she did a phenomenal job and remained a loyal watcher and encouraged my friends to watch the show. But then something changed over the last year and half. Instead of news, the show became about human interest stories, where race placed a central role. Gayle's opinions became more central and the show has lost its' objectivity. 10 minute segments on personal stories have replaced news events. I've now moved to France 24.

Google "I hate Gayle King" and you will find many specific examples of why people hate her via interviews she has done throughout the years and comments she has made on-air. Of course, no one at CBS dare say a word or Oprah will make sure they never work again.

If it's true that Norah is on her way out, this is just another chapter in what I refer to as the lather-rinse-repeat syndrome. The networks (and I include cable) do the same thing over and over, somehow expecting a different result - this is actually the definition of insanity.
They roll-in and roll-out news hosts every few years, they change the set for the host, they continue to dumb down the content, erase any pretense that the host is an objective individual, who is removed from the stories.
Perhaps one network could do something dramatic, like create a one-hour evening program. Have a host. You know, that person who gives an intro to a story, hands it over to a reporter who provides details.
Here's an idea, someone at one of the many networks could watch some international news programs to see how it's done.
CBS could go back and ask Scott Pelley to return... I think it was the last time the evening news for the network had an actual host.

I usually watch CBS evening news because it follows my favorite local news station, I’m busy cooking and too lazy to change the channel to something else. I’m always surprised at how poorly she conveys sympathy after a human interest story. It reminds me of the movie “Broadcast News”, the scene where William Hurt looks like he’s shedding tears. Is she so cold a human being that she can’t fake sympathy for an 8 year old with cancer (or whatever the story is focused on)??

They're already telegraphing to us how this is going to play out, and it will benefit CBS.
Norah will get more 60 Minutes duties. Evening news will move back to New York with Tony D as anchor, where he'll do very well. He has appeared to be in a much better mood the last couple of weeks and now I think I know why.
I can see CBS offering Gayle some kind of Barbara Walters Special-style evening show as her Prime Time "promotion" from CBS Mornings. They probably want to scrap what's left of their morning show and try out some of the weekend faces, which wouldn't be bad at all. I feel like they're already tiptoeing into this, sending Gayle out on assignments and having people fill in for her.
Side note: Norah O'Donnell makes 8 million on CBS Evening News but Brian Williams makes 12 million over at MSNBC?
R40--I was wondering the same thing. Gayle has her shortcomings as a broadcaster and might be annoying as a coworker, but she's not a bad person. Some recurring jokes here are funny and some are lame and this one is the latter. Is the joke that someone is convinced she's a secret lesbian and that's her great sin? Hardy har har.

R61, the "joke" is that GAYle is a closeted lesbian along with Oprah and their relationship is the only reason GAYle has a career. I think she is one of the worst examples of nepotism because she is so utterly terrible at her job., constantly interrupting, and everything else everyone said upthread. I always liked Norah O. on the morning show because she was a good counter-balance to Gayle's idiocy. Now that Gayle is surrounded by sycophants, she is more insufferable than ever. That said, if Tony gets the job he's going to make our DTM very nervous!

Do news anchor make that big difference nowadays? I just watch whichever one happens to be on when it coincides with TV viewing schedule. Sure, if someone is really shit at presenting the news, I won't watch but otherwise if they are within the bell curve, who cares. CBS has been 3rd through multiple anchors now, it would have to be an extraordinary personality to change ratings dramatically. And who is that person, can't think of anyone who would make that significant of a difference.
If I watch the news, I tune into CBS out of habit. Mostly because of 60 minutes and Sunday morning show. I'm used to the local CBS news team. It has little to do with Norah O'Donnell. I did give up on the morning show because I can't stand king and the slide towards the usual morning pablum. Rose was a pig and I don't miss him, but the newsie format was much better than the usual morning news fluff.

I think it would be embarrassing for CBS to move Tony from the morning show to the evening broadcast. The new "CBS Mornings" with Gayle, Tony and Nate premiered just last month, so to then turn around and break them apart this soon would be virtually admitting that they already view their new morning team as a colossal failure. On the bright side, though, Tony's reassignment would create an opening for Vlad, who appears to be very popular with viewers (and who probably should've gotten the spot they gave Nate in the first place).

She did this propaganda interview for Mohammad Bin Salman two years ago following his dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi. I was shocked that it aired on 60 Minutes.
The interview was heavily promoted all over social media by Saudi operatives/trolls/propagandists who claimed that it cleared his name.
Interestingly, now that O'Donnell is on her way out, 60 Minutes did a new feature last weekend about how MBS is an evil murderer.

CBS can't be stupid enough to think King is evening news material. She has her strengths and they are in presenting serious news. She can't even deliver fluffball morning news without gaffs. Initially, I thought she was just being down to earth and showing she was not your typical TV mannequin. But she fucks up every single segment and plays it off as part of her charming every woman persona. Imagine how painful that would be every evening as she covers politics, breaking news, death and mayhem.

Norah is a nasty bully. Years ago she did some interview with some admittedly dumb 13 year old Sarah Palin supporter and chewed the girl out on live television.
