Reports suggest CBS News is considering Chris Cuomo for potential role
Media reports indicate that CBS News is exploring the possibility of hiring former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo. The move is reportedly being driven by interest from Bari Weiss, who is looking to expand the network's talent lineup.
Recent media reports suggest that CBS News is in discussions to bring former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo into its fold. According to these reports, the initiative is being spearheaded by Bari Weiss, who is currently working to recruit high-profile talent to bolster the network's programming.
While the reports characterize Weiss as being enthusiastic about the potential addition of Cuomo, there has been no official confirmation from CBS News regarding a contract or a specific role for the former anchor. Cuomo, who departed CNN in 2021 following controversy surrounding his involvement in his brother’s political affairs, currently hosts a show on NewsNation.
Industry analysts note that such a move would represent a significant shift for both the network and Cuomo, given the circumstances of his previous departure from cable news. As of now, the reports remain speculative, and neither CBS nor Cuomo’s representatives have provided a formal statement confirming that negotiations are underway or that a deal is imminent.
