CBS News has announced the promotion of Jericka Duncan to the role of anchor for both the Saturday and Sunday editions of CBS Weekend News.
In an internal memo to CBS News staffers, President of Newsgathering and Editorial Adrienne Roark shared that “Jericka’s in-depth coverage of legal cases for Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, and Harvey Weinstein has shaped our understanding of some of the most revelatory trials of our time. Most recently, she reported live from the courthouse in New York where Sean “Diddy” Combs was indicted. She has a proven track record of covering hard-hitting stories like these.
While she will helm the anchor desk on the weekends from New York, Jericka will continue to report across the network. Please join us in congratulating her. I would also like to thank Craig Wilson and the Weekend News team for their work in supporting Jericka and her coverage and staying on top of this nonstop news cycle every single weekend.”
Duncan previously anchored the Sunday version of the CBS News weekend program. She will now step into the Saturday role that was previously held by Adriana Diaz. Diaz was added to the third hour of CBS Mornings Plus, the weekday morning show she now anchors with Tony Dokoupil, which premiered on Monday.
