NYPost: More bad news for Bari Weiss’ CBS as viewership nosedived in latest Nielsen ratings—— Posted on April 30, 2026 at 07:15:00 AM by stormhit
CBS News is stumbling under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss as both the “CBS Evening News” and “CBS Mornings” have fallen to historic ratings lows, pointing to a deepening audience slump at the network.
For the week ending April 20, “CBS Mornings,” co-hosted by Gayle King — who recently reupped with the network — drew just 1.8 million viewers, far behind NBC’s “Today” at about 3 million.
Meanwhile, ABC’s “Good Morning America” stood at roughly 2.9 million, while delivering only around 310,000 viewers in the key 25–54 demographic compared to 639,000 for “Today” and 508,000 for “GMA.”
For that same week ending April 20, the “CBS Evening News” averaged 3.8 million viewers, far behind ABC’s “World News Tonight” at roughly 8.5 million and NBC’s “Nightly News” at around 6.1 million.
“ABC World News Tonight with David Muir” ranked as the most-watched program on all of television last week and was the only evening newscast to post gains both year over year and week to week, while also notching its largest audience lead over CBS in 34 years.
CBS also lagged in the key 25–54 demo with roughly 467,000 viewers compared to more than 1 million for ABC and over 800,000 for NBC.
Fox News, meanwhile, is capitalizing on CBS’s struggles, touting April gains and highlighting that its flagship “Special Report with Bret Baier” has beaten the “CBS Evening News” head-to-head in multiple major markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Washington, DC.
The ratings slide is unfolding alongside internal upheaval at the network, with CBS News recently ousting its London bureau chief after clashes with Weiss over coverage of Iran and Gaza — a shakeup that insiders described as another sign of turmoil inside the news division.
The Post was first to report that Claire Day, the veteran London bureau chief, was on her way out the door after butting heads with the avowedly pro-Israel Weiss over coverage of the Middle East.
The shakeup was confirmed by parent company Paramount Skydance, which said former Wall Street Journal Middle East bureau leader Shayndi Raice will take over as foreign editor.
