And in addition to making headlines, the program is gaining audience share.” CBS News co-president Neeraj Khemlani is taking a scalpel to the network’s business as it focuses on revamping CBS News and amping up its streaming efforts. Her reporting on the military and domestic abuse has won awards and changed policies in Washington. Norah’s presence in Washington has elevated the CBS Evening News’ coverage on all fronts - politics, breaking news, to big interviews including Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen just last week. Khemlani denied a potential move or anchor shakeup, telling The Post: “There are no plans to move the Evening News from Washington. Sources say CBS execs are mulling moving “CBS Evening News” back to New York and potentially replacing anchor Norah O’Donnell. Indeed, sources said newly minted co-president Neeraj Khemlani - a former Hearst executive who along with former ABC exec Wendy McMahon was tapped this spring to replace Susan Zirinsky as head of CBS News - is not only looking at replacing O’Donnell, but bringing “CBS Evening News'” back to New York. CBS is in cost-cutting mode and that could mean changes for “CBS Evening News” and anchor Norah O’Donnell. She faces the possible heave-ho after CBS shelled out millions to move the evening broadcast to Washington, DC, from New York City to accommodate O’Donnell and her husband, chef Geoff Tracy, and their three children. Insiders likewise pointed to O’Donnell’s hefty pay package that is in the ballpark of $8 million a year and a three-year contract that’s slated to expire next spring. The 47-year-old news anchor - who muscled her way into the evening slot in 2019 as she fled a reportedly strained relationship with co-host Gayle King on “CBS This Morning” - now stands vulnerable to the network’s bean counters as her ratings have stayed stubbornly stuck in third place, according to sources close to the situation.
Norah O’Donnell is in danger of losing the top spot at “CBS Evening News,” as cost-slashing execs at the broadcasting giant quietly search for her replacement amid sagging ratings, The Post has learned.
