CBS News named veteran anchor and correspondent Adriana Diaz and business journalist Kelly O’Grady as the new co-hosts for “CBS Saturday Morning.”
The duo will officially start this week, the division announced Friday. The previous longtime co-hosts, Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson, were let go in a wave of company-wide staff reductions in October.
The cuts and changes at the weekend program were in the works before Bari Weiss arrived to begin her role as editor in chief of CBS News earlier that month.
Weiss has generated controversy and bad publicity for the network with her last-minute decision to pull a “60 Minutes” story on the Trump administration’s treatment of hundreds of Venezuelan migrants who were deported to El Salvador. Critics have also been less than impressed with the revamp of “CBS Evening News” which began this week with new anchor Tony Dokoupil.
Diaz and O’Grady will also alternate as co-hosts of “CBS Mornings 24/7,” the daily program on the CBS News streaming platform, working alongside featured host Vladimir Duthiers.
Diaz has been with CBS News since 2012. She has served as a China-based correspondent covering Asia, and later reported from Chicago. Her last anchor role was on “CBS Mornings Plus,” a short-lived one-hour program that followed “CBS Mornings” in several markets, including Los Angeles.
Diaz, 42, also had a stint as anchor of “CBS Weekend News.” She is a frequent fill-in for “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King. Internally, Diaz is considered a possible successor to King, who is in the final year of her contract with CBS News.
O’Grady, 34, a recent addition to CBS, joined the network in 2024 as a correspondent for its MoneyWatch unit, where she reported on the economy. She had been a correspondent and fill-in anchor at Fox Business.
In addition to her co-host role, O’Grady will continue to cover business, technology and the economy for the network.
