The news is a few days old now, but it's not been mentioned here yet. CBS This Morning's Anthony Mason is being replaced with former NFL player and current CBS pundit/host of Good Morning Football Nate Burleson.
I have mixed views about this as Anthony Mason is one of CBS News' best talents, and when he got the CTM job it finally felt like he was getting the recognition he deserved. However the show obviously isn't performing as well as they'd like so changes must be made. Nate's an entertaining host, and will definitely bring another dimension to CTM.
I assume this will coincide with the show's move to Times Square, however there's no mention of the move in the CBS article.
It also obviously rings bells of GMA bringing in former NFL player Michael Strahan a few years back, so I do hope it's not a sign of CBS reverting to a more Today/GMA style show - and will stick to it's USP of no-strings news and current affairs.
