Jericka Duncan To Anchor Both Editions Of ‘CBS Weekend News’

Jericka Duncan will now anchor the Saturday and Sunday editions of CBS Weekend News.

Duncan has been anchor of the Sunday edition of the newscast since late 2020. Adriana Diaz, who anchored on Saturday, departed last month to co-host CBS Mornings Plus, the new third hour of the network’s morning show, along with Tony Dokoupil.

In a memo to staffers, Adrienne Roark, president of newsgathering and editorial for CBS News and Stations, wrote that Duncan “is often one of the first reporters on the scene when news breaks.” Duncan was in Georgia last month to interview students following a school shooting at Apalachee High School.

“Reporting those stories is never easy, but in every situation, Jericka forges real connections with the people and communities she covers — in moments of tragedy and triumph — allowing them to share their experiences authentically.”

Duncan will continue to anchor from New York and to report as national correspondent across CBS News platforms. She joined the network in 2013.
