Norah O’Donnell is set to depart the anchor chair of CBS Evening News, and now it will happen one day earlier than originally planned.

After O’Donnell announced she would exit the program to focus on special projects and high-profile interviews for CBS News last July, Friday, January 24th was ultimately the date announced as her final program leading the venerable brand. That allowed her to continue covering the 2024 election and the subsequent inauguration of Donald Trump earlier this week.

However, CBS Sports’ coverage of the PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open will preempt the nightly news show on Friday evening, as coverage of the event begins at 5 PM ET on CBS.

Therefore, O’Donnell’s final show as lead anchor of the program will be on Thursday, January 23rd.

Her tenure leading the show began in July 2019. In her absence, the show will be helmed by Margaret Brennan, John Dickerson, and Maurice DuBois. Additionally, the program will shift to being hosted in New York, away from its previous Washington D.C. base. With its new home, the program will add a streaming companion program helmed by Dickerson. CBS Evening News Plus will air on CBS News 24/7, the network’s streaming platform at 7 PM ET.
