"CBS 's "Evening News" program lost over a million viewers in its first week under its new anchor, Tony Dokoupil, compared to the same period last year, marking a sharp loss for the network after the network's billionaire owners installed far right provocateur Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief in October. Data from media audience measurement firm Nielsen shows that the show lost nearly a quarter of its viewership in the first five days of Dokoupil taking over the program,"
"While the program had an average of 5.4 million viewers each day over that period last year, Variety reports, only about 4.17 million watched the program this year. Other previous anchors' debuts for the program have gotten roughly 5 million viewers or more, Variety points out. Viewership between the ages of 25 to 54, which advertisers view as their prime audience in news programs, also fell by nearly a quarter, plummeting from 690,000 last year to 533,000, the data showed."
CBS Evening News lost over one million viewers in its first week under Tony Dokoupil compared with the same period last year. Nielsen data shows the program lost nearly a quarter of its audience in the first five days after Dokoupil took over from January 5 to January 9. Average daily viewers fell from about 5.4 million last year to approximately 4.17 million this year. The 25–54 demographic declined from 690,000 to 533,000. Dokoupil succeeded Norah O'Donnell after Bari Weiss was installed as editor-in-chief. Weiss has implemented a far-right, Trump-favoring pivot and her tenure has included controversies, such as canceling a 60 Minutes broadcast about El Salvador prison conditions.
