CBS Anchor Maurice DuBois to Exit After 21 Years
Maurice DuBois, a veteran anchor at CBS News, announced Thursday that he will depart from the network after more than two decades, with his final broadcast on the CBS Evening News set for December 18.
DuBois, 60, shared the news in an Instagram post, reflecting on his 21-year tenure that began in September 2004 at WCBS-TV in New York City. He and John Dickerson, 57, had served as co-anchors of the evening broadcast since January, when they succeeded Norah O'Donnell. Dickerson announced his own exit from CBS in October, after 16 years with the network, leaving DuBois as the program's sole anchor in recent weeks.
In his post, DuBois expressed deep appreciation for his career. "It has been the Honor of a Lifetime," he wrote. "21 years altogether, including my time at WCBS-TV in New York City. What a privilege! To be welcomed into your homes night after night, delivering the news, meeting extraordinary people and telling their stories. I'll leave filled with gratitude, cherished relationships and amazing memories." He did not disclose any future plans but noted he would continue appearing on the show nightly at 6:30 p.m. until his departure.
