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

Duncan has hosted the Sunday edition of the news bulletin since late 2020. Adriana Diaz, who hosted Saturday, left last month to co-host CBS Mornings Plus, the new third hour of the network's morning show, with Tony Dokoupil.

In a memo to staff, Adrienne Roark, president of news gathering 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 interviewing students following a shooting at Apalachee High School.

“Reporting such 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.”
