A lot of people are talking about the revamped “CBS Evening News” under new anchor Tony Dokoupil — but not enough to make the program an unqualified ratings success in its first week.
Overall viewership for the first five days of Dokoupil’s official run on the venerable CBS News program was off 23% from what the program captured a year ago, when then-anchor Norah O’Donell was leading viewers through news of tumultuous California wildfires and the run-up to President Donald Trump’s second inauguration. Dokoupil’s first five days, from Jan. 5 to Jan. 9, won an average of nearly 4.17 million, according to data from Nielsen, compared with nearly 5.4 million in the year-earlier period.
