NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2005
----------------------------------------------
(CBS) CBS News President Andrew Heyward announced Wednesday he would be leaving his post when his contract expires at the end of the year. Heyward will be replaced by CBS Sports President Sean McManus.
"After nearly ten years in this job … it's time for a change, both for the news division and for me," Heyward wrote in an e-mail to CBS News staff. Heyward is the second-longest serving CBS News president in history. Richard Salant ranks first.
McManus takes the reins of the news division Nov. 7, when Heyward is expected to begin coaching him on his new role. McManus will meanwhile retain his position as president of CBS Sports, which he has held since 1996.
Heyward has been with CBS for 24 years in various roles, including executive producer of the CBS Evening News and vice president of CBS News. Heyward said he will stick around until the end of the year, making himself available to the new president as an advisor as needed.
CBS Chairman Les Moonves praised Heyward upon the announcement of his departure.
