CBS News has hired a well-regarded TV veteran as its No. 2 executive — even as insiders speculate that the broadcast giant’s boss is on the way out.
The Tiffany Network appointed former ABC News executive Tom Cibrowski to the role of president and executive editor of CBS News, replacing Adrienne Roark, the former CBS News president of newsgathering, who left for a job at Tegna earlier this month.
Cibrowski — a 25-year veteran of ABC News who served as executive producer of “Good Morning America” when it overtook NBC’s “Today” in the ratings — will have a wider purview than Roark, running all CBS News shows, as well as newsgathering and reporting units.
The network’s embattled boss Wendy McMahon, president and CEO of CBS News and Television Stations, announced Cibrowski’s appointment on Thursday.
“Everything he does is marked by a deep understanding of the news landscape, and he is committed to telling stories with impact, integrity, and fairness,” McMahon wrote in a memo to staff.
Cibrowski has held numerous high-profile roles but was passed over for the several top jobs at ABC News, including the news president role last year and the head of ABC News’ local stations. Most recently, he was president of ABC News’ KGO-TV in the Bay Area,
“He’s a pro, solid, stable no mistakes,” said a former ABC colleague.
A second source added that McMahon, who worked with Cibrowski at ABC, “trusts him” and is likely hoping he can help her reverse the fortunes of the network and help “save her job.”

Interesting point, have been watching landman, and 1923. Both shows are not exactly woke friendly
Latest 1923 has a nice scene where the Indian explains to a young Indian girl why the govt wants them dependent on the government and landman has had plenty of anti green energy scenes.
Not exactly “Disney” approved
It’s quite refreshing
