CBS News is planning to bring its CBS News Confirmed unit to TV with the hiring of a new executive producer: Melissa Mahtani.

Her exit is the latest transition at the CBS morning program, which has flown through some turbulence since its inception in 2012. Miller took the reins of the program in April of 2019, as CBS reworked its lineup, moving from a quartet of Gayle King, Norah O’Donnell,...
