Susan McGinnis Leaves CBS

Susan McGinnis, host of CBS Morning News, is leaving the network.

The CBS Morning News airs before the local CBS morning news in most markets. McGinnis gave news updates to a limited number of CBS affiliates throughout the morning as well.

After her final update at the top of The Early Show, co-host Russ Mitchell said, “Susan McGinnis in her last day here at CBS. She’s moving on. We wish you the best.” McGinnis responded, “Thanks, it’s been a pleasure.”

McGinnis joined CBS in 2000, and had contributed to CBS Marketwatch, in addition to her hosting duties. She was also a business contributor to The Early Show.

A CBS spokesperson confirmed it was McGinnis’ last day.
