Hannah Storm is leaving as co-anchor of CBS' "The Early Show" after five years of daybreak duty, the network said Wednesday.
Storm, 45, who was the show's co-anchor, is in discussions with the network to "determine the scope and depth of her new duties," CBS said in a statement.
Storm said she was glad to have teamed up with "some of the best in the business" on "The Early Show." In the statement released by CBS, she added that she was looking at other opportunities at the network.
Her final day on the show hasn't been decided, the network said.
Before she joined CBS News, Storm spent a decade as an anchor and reporter for NBC Sports and hosted broadcasts of four Olympic Games, three World Series and other major events. Her work in sports broadcasting garnered her two Emmy nominations for best sports television host.
Storm has been co-anchoring "The Early Show" with Harry Smith and Julie Chen. The show also includes news anchor Russ Mitchell and weatherman Dave Price.
In the ratings, CBS' morning show lags behind NBC's "Today" and ABC's "Good Morning America."
