The CBS Evening News is turning to a veteran of the program to lead it as its new executive producer.
Kim Harvey has been elevated to EP of the venerable evening newscast, which is marking 77 years on the air this year. Harvey succeeds Guy Campanile, who left the newscast earlier this month to return to 60 Minutes.
Harvey has been a longtime producer for the CBS Evening News, and before that worked as a producer on various programs at CNN, Fox News and MSNBC, including on The Rachel Maddow Show, The O’Reilly Factor and American Morning.
“Kim brings a sharp news sense and terrific track record of producing from across the broadcast and cable networks. She is a well respected newsroom leader and her relationships with our on-air talent, producers and reporters run deep,” said CBS News president Tom Cibrowski. “Her career at the CBS Evening News makes her the ideal candidate and I’m pleased to continue working with her on showcasing our extraordinary reporting and storytelling every night.”
“It’s a great honor to be entrusted with this role after nearly a decade working at the Evening News beginning as a producer,” Harvey said. “I have great respect and admiration for those who steered this broadcast before me, and I am grateful to Tom and the team for their support. I look forward to leading our incredible group of journalists as we deliver the latest news, original reporting and memorable stories to our audience every night.”
