CBS Mornings

Predecessors CBS has aired a number of news, and occasionally variety, formats in the morning hours since 1954, but has rarely been able to mount an ongoing challenge to either Today on NBC, or Good Morning America on ABC. From 1955 to 1982, these varied formats shared the morning timeslot on CBS with children's program Captain Kangaroo, which may have affected CBS' ability to gain momentum in the time period. CTM grew its audience in each of its first five years on the air, and came within a million viewers of Today during the November 2016 sweeps period. However, after several years of stability with co-hosts Charlie Rose, Gayle King and Norah O'Donnell, Rose was fired over multiple sexual harassment allegations in November 2017. In May 2021, CBS announced that the program would relocate from the CBS Broadcast Center to a new studio at parent company ViacomCBS' headquarters at One Astor Plaza in Times Square, previously the longtime home of MTV's Total Request Live. In August 2021, the network confirmed that retired NFL player Nate Burleson would join the program as a co-host, replacing Anthony Mason, who would move into a new role as a culture correspondent for the network. Along with the studio move, this led to speculation that CBS was seeking to revamp the program to be patterned after Good Morning America, which was also based (at the time) in Times Square and has a former NFL player, Michael Strahan, among its cast. On Monday, September 29, 2025, CBS Mornings moved back to Studio 57 in the CBS Broadcast Center. On Wednesday, December 10, 2025, it was announced that Tony Dokoupil would leave the program to become the new anchor of the CBS Evening News. Dokoupil's last day as co-host was Wednesday, December 17, 2025. == Format ==

CBS Mornings features many of the hallmarks of its predecessor, CBS This Morning, though with some adjustments. Graphics have been updated to use the unified CBS brand identity first introduced in late 2020. The "EyeOpener" segments have been retained at the start of each hour, but the 7:00a.m. segment now serves as both a recap of the past day in news, and a teaser for segments to come on that morning's program. The central anchor table remains in place, but more casual seating arrangements including sofas and armchairs, which were rarely seen on the main CTM set, are also used at times. The reconfigured program retained the social media and YouTube channels created for CBS This Morning. The program also features additional long-form features similar to CBS News Sunday Morning, particularly in its second hour. This revised format had been tested with CBS This Morning beginning earlier in 2021. In October 2025, the show was cancelled as part of cuts by Paramount Skydance. ==On-air staff==

In Australia, a trimmed version (70 minutes excluding commercials) of CBS Mornings currently airs on Paramount-owned Network 10, along with regional affiliate Southern Cross 10, on weekday mornings from 4:30a.m. until 6:00a.m. AEST, with the Friday edition held over to the following Monday. A national weather map of Australia is inserted during local affiliate station's cutaways for weather reports and forecasts, and commercial advertising was inserted during the cutaway for local news updates. Currently, CBS Mornings and NBC's Today (seen on the Seven Network) are the only two American morning news programs broadcast on Australian free to air television, as the Nine Network stopped showing ABC's Good Morning America in July 2018. CBS Mornings is subject to preemption in regional areas for paid and religious programming. Unlike the Seven Network, Network 10 does not show CBS Saturday Morning. == References ==
