CBS News confirmed Adriana Diaz and Kelly O’Grady as co-hosts of “CBS Saturday Morning” on Friday, making the gig official after The Post broke the news last month.
The duo will make their debut this Saturday following a tumultuous period in which the network ousted the show’s previous co-anchors, Dana Jacobson and Michelle Miller, who wrapped up their final episode late last month.
The Post exclusively reported Jacobson and Miller were on the chopping block in late October, though their replacements had yet to be announced.
The changes marked the first major upheaval under CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss and president Tom Cibrowski.
Since then, the execs have sought to revamp “CBS Evening News,” tapping Tony Dokoupil as anchor.
Weiss and Cibrowski expected to overhaul marquee shows like “CBS Mornings” and “60 Minutes” this year, too.
Along with helming the weekend show, Diaz and O’Grady will take turns co-hosting the streaming program “CBS News 24/7 Mornings” with featured host Vladimir Duthiers, the network said.
Diaz will also continue her role reporting across CBS News platforms and O’Grady will keep covering business, technology and the economy.
Senior broadcast producer Tony Dipolvere will produce “CBS Saturday Mornings” after executive producer Brian Applegate and a bevy of staffers were let go late last year, the network said.
In order to keep costs low, the 28-year-old show, which airs nationwide from 7 to 9 a.m. ET Saturdays, now shares production staff with “CBS Mornings,” The Post previously reported.
Diaz joined CBS News in 2012 and previously served as co-host of now-defunct streaming show “CBS Mornings Plus,” anchor of the Saturday edition of “CBS Weekend News” and a correspondent with stints in China and Chicago.
O’Grady came to the network in 2024 as a “MoneyWatch” correspondent, reporting on financial news and trends. She was previously a correspondent and fill-in anchor at Fox Business.
