CBS News Editor-In-Chief Bari Weiss has unveiled the network’s new plan to grow the audience amid efforts to broaden the network’s political appeal after a set of blunders. “I’m here to tell you that if we stick to that [focusing on broadcast] strategy, we’re toast,” Weiss said. But Weiss has been behind many of the recent decisions that led to a slump in viewership. While CBS has been last place among broadcast evening news programmes for decades, it continues to lose its market share under Weiss. On Wall Street, CBS parent Paramount Skydance is down 2.6 percent in midday trading.
