US Edition‘First Day, Big Problems Here’: Tony Dokoupil Had Some Issues on CBS Evening News
Tony Dokoupil's debut as CBS Evening News anchor included multiple on-air errors due to technical issues and production confusion, drawing viewer criticism on social media.
- On Monday, Tony Dokoupil, new CBS Evening News anchor, experienced on-air technical glitches during his first regular New York broadcast, apologizing live with `First day, big problems here`.
- Because the network moved Dokoupil's debut up for Venezuela coverage, he anchored a special Saturday edition amid CBS's leadership transition under Bari Weiss, CBS News Editor-in-Chief.
- During the segment transition, Tony Dokoupil mixed up Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Arizona senator Mark Kelly, encountered dead air, and showed a mismatched graphic before CBS removed the errors.
- The network responded by removing the errors from the uploaded YouTube broadcast, while Jan Crawford said, `I understand your skepticism and anger. We have to be better, and we are going to do our best to prove we can be.`
- The episode adds to credibility concerns at CBS as it navigates a relaunch under Bari Weiss and David Ellison, with staff tensions rising after a draft letter gained more than 200 signatures and a planned 10-city tour was postponed.
