- Bari Weiss's revamped CBS Evening News, anchored by Tony Dokoupil, has lost viewers fast.
- Total audience dropped to 3.8 million, with the key 25-54 demo at 468,000.
- Staff walkouts at CBS's streaming unit add to her growing headaches.
Bari Weiss, CBS News editor-in-chief, faces mounting problems as her overhaul of the flagship CBS Evening News sees ratings tank. Tony Dokoupil's new format isn't clicking with audiences, especially advertisers who target adults 25-54. Internal fights, like staff walking off the streaming job, make things worse for the network.
