John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois will co-anchor the “CBS Evening News” following the departure of Norah O'Donnell later this year, the network said Thursday.

Dickerson is a former host of “Face the Nation” and “CBS This Morning” for the network. The former Time magazine White House correspondent has been anchoring a nightly newscast for CBS' streaming service most recently.

DuBois, a veteran anchor for CBS' local affiliate in New York City, has also contributed reporting to various CBS newscasts.

The storied newscast, which Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather and Katie Couric have anchored, has been third in the ratings to ABC's “World News Tonight” and NBC's "Nightly News” for years. O'Donnell, who is becoming a special correspondent focusing on big interviews for CBS, didn't move the needle.

Bill Owens, executive producer of CBS News' most successful broadcast, “60 Minutes,” will also become supervisor of the evening news, said Wendy McMahon, president and CEO of CBS News and Stations. Owens appointed veteran “60 Minutes” hand Guy Campanile as executive producer of the evening news.

The Washington-based Margaret Brennan, moderator of “Face the Nation,” will lead the broadcast's coverage of political and foreign affairs. The evening news, which broadcast from a Washington studio to accommodate O'Donnell, will move back to New York, CBS said.

The newscast also named Lonnie Quinn as its chief weather forecaster.
