Bari Weiss Promises a Summer Shake-Up at CBS News Ahead of CNN Merger

New CBS News chief Bari Weiss is planning a summer overhaul of the division, targeting major shifts to 60 Minutes and CBS Mornings and expanding digital initiatives as she pushes a strategy to grow beyond traditional linear TV. The timing comes as Paramount weighs a merger with Warner Bros. Discovery that could reshape leadership and how CNN fits into the portfolio, with reports of potential departures at 60 Minutes and a refreshed on-air lineup for CBS Mornings. Paramount says Weiss has full editorial support, though discussions about her mandate hint at broader reorganizations. Changes are expected through the summer ahead of the fall season, with Weiss emphasizing podcasts and digital distribution to reach new audiences while balancing the legacy broadcast operation.
