Here is what the page “CBS News Hires Former ‘Nightline’ Producer Steven Baker to Revamp ‘Mornings’ and ‘Evening ” contains. CBS News has brought on Steven Baker, a former executive producer at ABC News’ “Nightline,” as a consultant to help boost its struggling morning and evening news programs, which currently trail competitors in the ratings. Baker, who joined earlier this week, will work alongside the teams at “CBS Mornings” and “CBS Evening News” as the network seeks to climb out of third place behind ABC and NBC. This move marks another high-profile ABC News veteran joining CBS, following the recent appointment of former ABC News president Kim Godwin as a senior advisor.
The network has been experimenting with format changes and anchor lineups in an effort to attract more viewers and advertisers. With decades of experience in hard-hitting, long-form journalism, Baker is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the daily broadcasts.
