With lots of gossip and social media chatter tied to Tony Dokupil and his on-air approach as the new anchor of the CBS Evening News, the Paramount-owned CBS network is shifting the conversation to its CBS Saturday Morning offering.
Starting tomorrow (1/10), two women are poised to co-host the show from Studio 57 in the CBS Broadcast Center in New York.
Sharing the anchor duties for the program are Adriana Diaz and Kelly O’Grady, who will also alternate daily co-hosting duties on CBS NEWS 24/7 MORNINGS weekdays from 9am-11am.
Diaz will continue her role as a reporter across CBS News’ platforms, as O’Grady will continue covering business, technology and the economy for all CBS News offerings.
“We want our audience to walk away with a better understanding of the stories that are shaping their lives and the world around them,” said Shawna Thomas, Executive Producer of CBS Mornings. “Adriana and Kelly’s unique blend of experience will make that possible. We are excited for our viewers to start their weekends with them.”
Diaz said of CBS Saturday Morning, “The show has a long history of phenomenal journalists who have led it, and I hope to honor that legacy alongside Kelly, who is a wonderful partner. I look forward to spending Saturday mornings together with our viewers!”
O’Grady added, “Helping people start their weekend in a thoughtful and uplifting way is a responsibility I deeply value – I’m thrilled to undertake that with Adriana. And at a time when economic issues are shaping people’s everyday decisions, I’m proud to continue my business reporting to help provide clarity and context when it matters most.”
Diaz joined CBS News in 2012 and previously served as co-host of CBS Mornings Plus, and the anchor of the Saturday edition of the CBS Weekend News. She has also been the news organization’s Asia correspondent, based in China, and as a Chicago-based correspondent.
O’Grady joined CBS in 2024 as a “MoneyWatch” correspondent and was previously a fill-in anchor at Fox Business.
