CBS to "Evening News" staff: Good night, and good luck.
The network has begun offering buyouts to "Evening News" staffers as it looks to revamp the show under new anchor Tony Dokoupil, The Post has learned.
CBS News emailed staffers Wednesday: "We are offering an extraordinary chance to leave CBS News with an enhanced separation payment."
The missive obtained by The Post cited Weiss' Tuesday townhall meeting with staff, in which she shared her vision for the beleaguered news division to expand beyond linear TV into digital, live events, podcasts and other areas.
