Maurice Dubois is bidding farewell to CBS Evening News at the end of the year. The long-awaited anchor announced his departure on December 5, 2025, and indicated the date of his final broadcast in an Instagram post. The question arises: is Maurice leaving CBS for good? Many viewers are also curious about why he is leaving, especially after his co-anchor John Dickerson announced his departure a few weeks ago.
Maurice and John’s exits come amid significant changes at Paramount, the owner of CBS, following Skydance Media’s acquisition of the company for $ 8 billion. In the summer, CBS announced the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, confirming that the decision was made for financial reasons.
Hollywood Life summarizes what is known about Maurice’s exit from CBS Evening News.
In his announcement, Maurice stated that his last day on the evening news program will be December 18, 2025.
«I'm moving on», - Maurice began his Instagram post. «December 18 will be my last broadcast on CBS News. It has been the honor of a lifetime. A total of 21 years, including my time at WCBS-TV in New York. What a privilege! To be invited into your homes night after night, delivering the news, meeting amazing people, and telling their stories. I will leave filled with gratitude, cherished relationships, and wonderful memories. Just a couple of weeks left; until then, see you on CBS Evening News every evening at 6:30».
