According to a report, the changes at CBS This Morning have been rewared with good ratings...despite still being in third place https://nypost.com/2019/05/29/gayle-king-already-a-ratings-a-success-for-cbs-this-morning/?_ga=2.93574365.1157626706.1559208938-amp-MSambGDh_qw5Tt1wjXe6Fg

Worth keeping in mind that these were ratings for the launch week. I’d like to see ratings after a month.

Well CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell launches tonight.. I believe they will get a new theme too.

They will, and according to CBS News President and Senior Producer, Susan Zirinsky, the new EN will focus on investigative reporting.
Quote:
“We want to focus on the stories where we can add something,” Zirinsky said. “Do I need to give you a story that you’ve heard all day and there isn’t anything new? No, I don’t. Everybody on this planet is getting their news on their phone. What I do hope is that the stories we bring you are sticky — that they stay with you.”

They will also look to expand the show as well.

Well the intro looks nice. I like the blue studio too.



I do think Katie Courics open was nicer, but this one works too.
