NewzCBS News has hired former ABC News veteran Steven Baker as a consultant to help improve the ratings of its morning- and evening-news broadcasts. Baker, who previously served as an executive producer for ABC News' "Nightline," began his new role earlier this week.
The appointment is part of an ongoing effort by CBS News to elevate its flagship morning and evening programs out of third place in the ratings.
Baker's addition marks another instance of CBS News recruiting talent with an ABC News background to address its competitive standing in network news programming.
