What happens

The CBS Evening News (titled as CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil since January 3, 2026) is the flagship evening television news program of CBS News, the news division of the CBS television network in the United States. The CBS Evening News is a daily evening broadcast featuring news reports, feature stories and interviews by CBS News correspondents and reporters covering events around the world. Since January 3, 2026, the flagship nightly broadcast has been anchored by Tony Dokoupil from the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City. Previous weeknight anchors have included Douglas Edwards, Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Connie Chung, Bob Schieffer, Russ Mitchell, Katie Couric, Harry Smith, Scott Pelley, Anthony Mason, Jeff Glor, Norah O'Donnell, John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois. The program has been broadcast since July 1, 1941, under the original title CBS Television News, eventually adopting its existing title in 1963. Saturday and Sunday broadcasts of the CBS Evening News began in February 1966. On May 2, 2016, CBS announced that the weekend edition would be rebranded, effective May 7, 2016, as the CBS Weekend News. Weekend newscasts originate from the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City, and are anchored by Jericka Duncan. From 2016 to 2020, the CBS Weekend News was anchored by Reena Ninan on Saturday and Elaine Quijano on Sunday. By the summer of 2020, Ninan and Quijano were replaced by Major Garrett and Jamie Yuccas. In December 2020, Adriana Diaz and Jericka Duncan were announced to be the new weekend anchors; Diaz left the program in 2024. Since 2025, the program has had more of a news magazine-styled format, with a larger focus on long-form stories. In 2026, CBS Evening News announced it will maintain a pro-United States editorial stance. The weeknight edition of the CBS Evening News airs live at 6:30 pm in the Eastern Time Zone and 5:30 pm in the Central Time Zone, and is tape delayed for the Mountain Time Zone. A "Western Edition", with updated segments covering breaking news stories, airs previously recorded at 6:30 pm for most stations in the Pacific Time Zone and 5:30 pm in the Alaska Time Zone and on tape delay in the Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone. At midnight Eastern, the Western Edition is posted on the website for CBS News and their YouTube channel. The Western Edition additionally airs along with the weekend versions on CBS News 24/7. As of April 11, 2024, CBS Evening News remains in third place of the three major television news programs, with around 4,969,000 total viewers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
