Heyward To Leave CBS News By John M. Higgins -- Broadcasting & Cable, 10/26/2005 9:43:00 AM After months of speculation, CBS is sending beleaguered CBS News President Andrew Heyward to the exit, replacing him by expanding the turf of CBS Sports President Sean McManus. On Wednesday, CBS Chairman Les Moonves named McManus president of both the network’s sports and news divisions. McManus takes the new slot Nov. 7, but Heyward “will assist in the transition and depart CBS at the end of the year, when his current contract expires,” CBS said in a statement. Heyward’s job has clearly been in jeopardy for months. CBS News was rocked by the 60 Minutes Wednesday “Memogate” scandal that spurred the purge of key news executives and shoved Dan Rather out of the anchor chair. But long before that, CBS’s cornerstone evening newscast had been in a ratings slump, unable to get traction against the competition. Moonves has been talking for months about completely overhauling the network’s approach to news, never a good sign for the guy who’s been in charge of the division.
