After Norah O’Donnell was named anchor of the “CBS Evening News” in May, she received a congratulatory email from Maureen Orth, the widow of Tim Russert, the late NBC Washington bureau chief and “Meet the Press” moderator.
“CBS Evening News” has long trailed “ABC World News With David Muir” and “NBC Nightly News With Lester Holt” in the ratings, although the program has narrowed the gap with its competitors since O’Donnell has been in the anchor chair. Ratings for all network news programs have been in decline as consumers spend less time with traditional TV outlets.
O’Donnell’s ascension to the anchor job in July 2019 was championed by Susan Zirinsky during her tenure as president of CBS News. Zirinsky moved out of that job in April, replaced by Nareej Khemlani and Wendy McMahon as co-presidents and co-head of CBS News and Stations in a reorganization of the two divisions.

Jay Shaylor is out after fewer than two years on the job.
Shaylor joined Evening News in October 2019 from CNN, where he had been executive producer of The Situation Room with
Wolf Blitzer.
Before joining CNN in 2013, Shaylor was a senior producer at GMA, overseeing editorial content and production of the broadcast during the evening and overnight hours.
In 2012, he was part of the senior team responsible for moving ABC’s morning show into the No. 1 spot in total viewers. He also served as one of
Diane Sawyer’s anchor producers, and was the morning show’s primary producer in the field during breaking news.

Executive producer for ‘CBS Evening News With Norah O’Donnell’ exits
Shaylor’s departure was confirmed Friday by CBS News, which gave no reason for his exit.
“We thank him for his contributions to the broadcast and for helping develop it into the impactful program it is today,” a representative for the division said in a statement.
Co-senior broadcast producers Elizabeth Turner and Alturo Rhymes will share day-to-day management of the program until CBS News names a replacement. Shaylor came to CBS News in October 2019 after stints at CNN and ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
