I predict that CBS News will get a hefty bump in the ratings when she starts because of the novelty factor. That will wear off quickly and the ratings will drift back down below where they are now.

I am also betting that CBS will not dump her no matter how low the ratings go. Within five years most of the remaining CBS affiliates will dump the CBS evening newscast in favor of syndicated sitcom re-runs.

Totally correct

Absolutely not. They would fire God if he had low ratings.

Low numbers and the affiliates will sream for her scalp.

No, it will be a modern variation of the "news wheel"

Be well.
