And Now It Begins...

With CBS’s parent company, Paramount, finally making a deal to sell the company to Skydance, the future on CBS News and the O&Os is murky.

On Wednesday, it got even murkier.

CBS News President Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews sent an email to the staff, informing them that she is stepping down.

“Some may be asking why I’m announcing this now. We all know our industry and company are going through a transformation and a number of short- and long-term decisions need to be made,” Ciprian-Matthews wrote in the memo. “I do not want to be disingenuous with any of you about who should drive these decisions. I’ve always leaned into my integrity and my values, and I felt it was important to be transparent at this juncture about my plans.”

This is just the beginning of big changes coming to CBS.
