CBS Evening News Host John Dickerson Departs Amid Network Shake-Up

John Dickerson, a longtime CBS journalist and co-host of "CBS Evening News," announced he will leave the network at the end of 2025 after sixteen years, amidst ratings declines and an ongoing revamp under new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. Weiss is reportedly seeking to replace Dickerson with Fox News host Bret Baier as part of a broader effort to reshape CBS News, which has included soliciting employee feedback and facing layoffs. Dickerson's departure highlights uncertainty around the future of major national news programs. Meanwhile, radio programming is also in flux, with the Charlie Kirk Show continuing after Kirk's assassination, featuring rotating guest hosts to maintain its presence on Salem Radio Network, and a major shake-up at Adelaide's Mix 102.3 radio station, where longtime presenter Michelle Murphy faces an uncertain future amid broader changes including the replacement of breakfast show hosts. These developments reflect ongoing shifts in traditional media formats as networks and stations adjust to changing audiences and leadership strategies.
