CBS News is expected to announce a major shake-up in the lineup of its flagship shows on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

In what would represent the most significant changes under new CBS News President Susan Zirinsky, the network would be dropping chief evening anchor Jeff Glor in favor of one of Zirinsky’s morning stars, Norah O’Donnell, and rebuilding the morning show around CBS’s Gayle King.<\/p>\n

CBS News would not comment on the changes, which have been the subject of media speculation and coverage in recent days, but a person knowledgeable with the plans confirmed them to NPR.<\/p>\n

The moves stem from shrinking ratings for both CBS This Morning <\/em>and the CBS Evening News<\/em>, alongside reverberations of sexual harassment revelations that have rocked the news division. <\/p>\n

Under the revamp, King will remain co-host of CBS This Morning<\/em>, where Zirinsky plans for her to be joined by Anthony Mason, currently a correspondent and host of CBS’s Saturday morning news show, and correspondent Tony Dokoupil.<\/p>\n
