Dickerson, who has anchored the CBS Sunday
political show "Face the Nation" since 2015 and moderated two
2016 presidential debates, will start his new job on Wednesday,
the network said in a statement.
Veteran TV journalist Rose, 76, was fired by CBS in November
after being accused by more than 10 women of sexual misconduct.
Rose apologized for inappropriate behavior but questioned the
accuracy of some of the accounts. Reuters could not
independently verify the accusations.
PBS and Bloomberg, which broadcast the “Charlie Rose” show, also
said they were terminating their relationships with Rose and
canceling distribution of his programs in the aftermath of the
misconduct allegations.
He was one of dozens of powerful men in media, entertainment,
business and politics brought down by accusations of sexual
misconduct since October 2017.
Dickerson, 49, will join "This Morning" female co-hosts Gayle
King and Norah O'Donnell.
“Few people possess John’s intellect, curiosity and journalistic
chops,” Ryan Kadro, executive producer of "This Morning" said in
a statement. “He’s the perfect complement to Gayle and Norah."
"This Morning" has the smallest audience of the three main
morning shows on U.S. broadcast television with a daily audience
of about 3.6 million.
