Kim Harvey has been named the next Executive Producer of CBS Evening News as the show marks its 77th year on the air. Harvey will be taking the lead, succeeding Guy Campanile, who left earlier this month to return to 60 Minutes.
Tom Cibrowski, president of CBS News stated,
"Kim brings a sharp news sense and terrific track record of producing from across the broadcast and cable networks. She is a well respected newsroom leader and her relationships with our on-air talent, producers and reporters run deep. Her career at the ‘CBS Evening News’ makes her the ideal candidate and I’m pleased to continue working with her on showcasing our extraordinary reporting and storytelling every night.”
He further expressed how it is an honor for CBS to have Kim Harvey, while also thanking Campanile for his contributions.
“It’s a great honor to be entrusted with this role after nearly a decade working at the Evening News beginning as a producer. have great respect and admiration for those who steered this broadcast before me, and I am grateful to Tom and the team for their support. I look forward to leading our incredible group of journalists as we deliver the latest news, original reporting and memorable stories to our audience every night.”
Kim Harvey for CBS news
Kim Harvey is the second woman to lead the show, after Patricia Shevlin, who led the segment for three years starting in 2011 before also moving to 60 Minutes.
Before becoming a producer for the CBS Evening News, Kim Harvey worked on various programs at CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC. These included The Rachel Maddow Show, which she helped launch, The O’Reilly Factor, American Morning, and more. She joined CBS News in 2017, and since then has worked exclusively at Evening News. She began as a producer, progressed to senior producer, and then to senior broadcast producer. This experience gave her the opportunity to work with almost all CBS News national correspondents, as well as anchors Norah O’Donnell and Jeff Glor.
After a decline in viewership linked to an experimental format, the channel is looking to stabilize and grow under new leadership. Campanile had implemented a two-anchor format with an emphasis on enterprise reporting for revamping the Evening News, which coincided with a decrease in audience numbers. This happened as he was acting on a concept designed in part by senior executives who are no longer with CBS News. They were hoping to offer an alternative to breezier evening news broadcasts on NBC and ABC, which they believed could lead to higher ratings.
