Anxiety Builds at CBS News Over Potential Moves by Skydance
The journalists at CBS News are eager to report out details of what might happen to their own workplace. Staffers at the unit, now part of Paramount Skydance, are worried about the potential for a new round of layoffs, according to three people familiar with the news division, and are also curious about a possible new chapter for 'CBS Evening News,' which has seen its ratings drop noticeably since embracing a new, atypical format. More from Variety 'CBS Evening News' Executive Producer Guy Campanile to Return to '60 Minutes' Paramount Skydance Shares End Roller-Coaster, Memestock-Fueled Week Up 30%, Boosting Market Cap by $2 Billion Investor Mario Gabelli Sues Shari Redstone's National Amusements Inc. Alleging 'Unfair and Inequitable' Terms in Paramount-Skydance Merger CBS News declined to make executives available for comment. Layoffs are indeed possible. Executives from Skydance signaled earlier this month during a meeting with reporters that they intended to follow through on previously announced plans to cut $2 billion in costs from the company, which has suffered from longer-term downturns in traditional advertising and distribution revenue as one-time TV viewers embrace streaming technology. Jeff Shell, the new president of Skydance, indicated those cuts and reductions should be disclosed by the company's next quarterly report to investors in November. As for 'CBS Evening News,' executives are poised to experiment with a tweak to the current format, which relies on two anchors delivering news side by side. A person familiar with the matter suggests viewers will in weeks to come see a more frequent reliance on one of the anchors — John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois lead the program — being out on the road at major, breaking events. Just last week, Dickerson was on the ground in Alaska as U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met to discuss Russia's ongoing battle with Ukraine. Making use of both anchors in such fashion would put an authoritative person in the field and the studio, this person suggested, while giving the newscast the ability to deliver breaking news at the top of the broadcast. That suggests a new wrinkle in the show's mission. The original concept behind this 'Evening News' iteration was to emphasize more feature and enterprise reporting. In its earliest weeks, even CBS News' Washington bureau veterans tried to examine the effects of Trump-era policies on people in places like Baltimore or Canada. And yet, critics complained that the show was at times giving short shrift to breaking headlines. The format tweak could potentially give 'Evening News' a shot of the latest headlines while still leaving some room for the distinct elements it brings to the mix. Speculation on 'Evening News' has grown since the disclosure that its current executive producer, Guy Campanile, would leave the show and return to his former home, '60 Minutes,' where he has long worked as a producer. One of the concepts behind the new 'Evening News' was to adopt some of the spirit of '60,' which generates its own headlines by pursuing stories both tied to headlines and completely disconnected from them. But evening-news audiences, accustomed to a format that has worn well for many decades, didn't bite. Approximately 3.74 million viewers watched 'CBS Evening News' for the five-day period ended August 4, according to Nielsen. ABC's 'World News Tonight,' which leads the category, captured an average of nearly 6.89 million, while NBC's 'NBC Nightly News' won an average of nearly 5.35 million. CBS News executives had hoped their new 'Evening News' might pick up viewers as Tom Llamas picked up the reins at NBC following a decision by Lester Holt to step away from the 'Nightly' role. Instead, the CBS show has lost hundreds of thousands of viewers since moving away from the format that had been anchored by Norah O'Donnell. One potential candidate to take the 'Evening News' reins behind the camera is said to be Kim Harvey, a veteran producer who has worked for CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC, along with CBS News. Harvey has logged time working on MSNBC town halls during the run up to the 2016 election, and with anchors that range from Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes to Bill O'Reilly and Greta Van Susteren.

Colts remain among trade destinations for elite pass rusher
Colts remain among trade destinations for elite pass rusher originally appeared on The Sporting News The Trey Hendrickson saga in Cincinnati has reached its latest twist. NFL insider Tom Pelissero shared that, after renewed contract negotiations and Hendrickson returning to Bengals practice, the team is now open to trading last season's league-leader in sacks. Peliserro says that no deal is close, but the Bengals have shifted their stance after initially having no interest in moving on from Hendrickson. The Colts have been linked to Hendrickson ever since the situation went sour with his current team. Indy's defensive coordinator, Lou Anarumo, worked with Hendrickson for four seasons, helping him hit the 17.5 sack mark in each of the last two seasons. NFL insider Jordan Schultz shared that Indy is among the teams who have expressed interest in Hendrickson, adding that the Bengals' desired return is not expected to be cheap, asking for at least an 'impact player' as compensation. < This report isn't exactly news when you consider the strength of Anarumo and Hendrickson's partnership on the field. But the Colts have a plethora of pass rushers of their own already who they believe can make an impact, including Kwity Paye, Laiatu Latu and rookie JT Tuimoloau. Still, general manager Chris Ballard tends to be aggressive when pursuing pass rush. Previously in his tenure, he's made trades for franchise cornerstone DeForest Buckner, defensive end Yannick Ngakoue and signing Samson Ebukam as a free agent back in 2023. In the return for Ngakoue, a player requested by then-defensive coordinator Gus Bradley due to schematic familiarity, included a player in cornerback Rock Ya-Sin. So, Ballard is no stranger to being aggressive for a player he wants. But with the depth the Colts currently have on the edge, the price may be a bit too high to go after Hendrickson.

Orioles promote top prospect Samuel Basallo for MLB debut
HOUSTON (AP) — Baltimore's top prospect Samuel Basallo will make his MLB debut Sunday after the Orioles selected his contract from Triple-A Norfolk. Basallo, rated Baltimore's No. 1 prospect and the No. 8 prospect in baseball by is a catcher and first baseman, but was batting sixth and serving as the team's designated hitter Sunday in the series finale against the Astros. 'This is the first big Latin American signing that we've had that shows up and it's a really good one,' Baltimore interim manager Tony Mansolino said. 'So we're excited about him. We expect him to be competitive and do well.' His promotion comes a day after the team brought up No. 3 prospect outfielder Dylan Beavers. Basallo, a 21-year-old from the Dominican Republic, hit .270 with 23 homers and 67 RBIs in 76 games for Norfolk this season. He will be the team's backup catcher behind star Adley Rutschman and get work at first base. 'Adley will function as our No. 1 catcher because that's what he is,' Mansolino said. 'He's a really good catcher. Basollo will function as the No. 2 catcher, catch day games, Adley won't catch four in a row, things like that.' Mansolino added that Basollo would start at catcher Monday night at Boston and that he'd get him in the lineup at first base during the team's next homestand. Also on Sunday, the Orioles reinstated OF Colton Cowser from the 7-day concussion list and optioned OF Daniel Johnson and 1B/OF Ryan Noda to Norfolk. They also transferred right-hander Zach Eflin (low back discomfort) to the 60-day injured list. ___ AP MLB:
