Maurice DuBois is parting ways with "CBS Evening News" after nearly 15 years, leaving the show without an anchor after this month.

His final broadcast will be Dec. 18 after more than 21 years at the network, dating back to his time at the New York City station WCBS-TV in 2004, he announced in an Instagram post on Thursday, Dec. 4.

"It has been the Honor of a Lifetime," he wrote. "What a privilege! To be welcomed into your homes night after night, delivering the news / meeting extraordinary people and telling their stories. I'll leave filled with gratitude, cherished relationships and amazing memories. A couple weeks to go; until then, see you on The CBS Evening News every night at 6:30."

Throughout his career, the Long Island native and Northwestern University alum has covered a variety of topics, moderated political debates and earned five Emmys.

Who will replace Maurice DuBois on 'CBS Evening News'?

DuBois joins his co-anchor John Dickerson in exiting the show by the 2025's end and CBS has not yet confirmed who will succeed both in the next year. USA TODAY has reached out to CBS for comment.

Dickerson announced his departure as co-anchor and CBS News chief political analyst in an Oct. 27 Instagram post without specifying why he is leaving.

"I am extremely grateful for all that CBS gave me — the work, the audience's attention and the honor of being a part of the network's history — and I am grateful for my dear colleagues who've made me a better journalist and a better human," he wrote. "I will miss you."

The network confirmed he will continue to co-anchor the "CBS Evening News" until the holidays, making it unclear who viewers tuning in will see come January.
