Dana Tyler, a mainstay presence on WCBS-TV evening newscasts for decades, will leave her daily anchoring duties later this month, according to a report.
Tyler, the Emmy Award-winning journalist who co-anchors the 6 p.m. news broadcast on New York City’s Channel 2 alongside Dick Brennan, will give up her chair after 34 years at the station.
Brennan, who has been with the station since 2012, will also be replaced during the 6 p.m. time slot.
Maurice DuBois and Kristine Johnson, who co-anchor the 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts, will expand their time slot through 6:30 p.m.
Tyler, the longest tenured anchor in the history of the CBS affiliate, will contribute stories and interviews on the channel’s over-the-air broadcast as well as its streaming platform, according to an internal memo circulated by the station.
News of the memo was first reported by Newsday.
