New NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Llamas just visited Houston, and newly minted CBS Evening News Anchor Tony Dokoupil is also going on a live broadcast tour, including a Texas stop.
For LIVE FROM AMERICA – 10 cities in 10 days, Dokoupil will be live from Dallas on January 7, 2026, his third day on air in his new network anchor gig!
“Growing up a bit ramshackle, moving between Florida, Maryland and West Virginia, traveling the country playing high school and college baseball, I learned to love talking to new people. As a journalist, I realized there are some things you’ll never understand until you’re standing there with the people in the middle of it,” Dokoupil said. “Being there, and bringing others there, is what I love most about this job, and what makes me so excited about this trip.”
“Tony’s superpower is listening to people. We want to serve Americans in the best way possible by meeting them where they are every night – and we’ll do that with this cross-country kick-off tour,” said Kim Harvey, executive producer of the CBS EVENING NEWS.
Dokoupil, who has co-anchored CBS Mornings, succeeds Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson. He starts on the evening newscast on January 5th and will be live from Miami.
Paramount, which owns CBS, also owns CBS News Texas, AKA CBS 11 KTVT in North Texas where Tim Hinson was recently named the new president and general manager.
