As a youthful looking 42, Jeff Glor is the youngest anchor of “CBS Evening News” since Douglas Edwards first sat in the chair in 1948. CBS will be courting digital viewers by re-airing “CBS Evening News with Jeff Glor,” on its streaming channel CBSN at 7 p.m. Pacific time after it airs on the network’s TV affiliates across the country. Any changes to “CBS Evening News” will happen gradually. But even when a broadcast is losing viewers, as “CBS Evening News” was under Pelley, an anchor change can disrupt viewing habits. But the network’s research shows that “CBS Evening News” has lagged behind ABC and NBC because it has not been able to distinguish itself from its competitors.
