Susan Zirinsky is preparing to step down from her role at CBS News president, according to an individual with knowledge of the company.
Zirinsky has helmed the news organization for two years.
A representative for CBS declined to comment on Zirinsky’s plans. According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, she will soon ink a production deal with the network’s parent company, ViacomCBS Inc.
There has been speculation about her possible departure, which only grew following reports last week that Kimberly Godwin will soon depart her role as CBS News’ executive vice president to become the president of ABC News.
Their exits would leave two top roles at CBS News vacant.
Zirinsky, a beloved figure at CBS News who started out as a production clerk in 1972, faced her fair share of fires to put out when she took over the network’s news division following the ouster of David Rhodes.
