Maurice DuBois announced he’ll leave “CBS Evening News” on Dec. 18, following co-anchor John Dickerson’s earlier retirement — both departures come amid declining ratings.

Gayle King, CBS News’ longtime face of the morning show, is expected to leave her anchor role next year as her contract ends in May.
