Tony Dokoupil is reportedly unsure of his next steps as ratings for his CBS program have declined further over the past week.

The declining ratings are said to have sparked conversations about Tony Dokoupil possibly leaving, while reports have also claimed that the editorial direction is to blame for the show's ratings issues.

Earlier reports in January indicated that the program's viewership was already declining, and that downward trend appears to have continued into February.

According to Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop, ratings for the broadcast have dropped by another 400,000 viewers in just one week.

While this week-to-week decline alone already points to a negative trajectory, the broader picture appears even more concerning, as overall viewership is down by approximately 600,000 when compared with this same time last year.

Due to the situation, Dokoupil, who was reportedly previously tense about the downward trend, has now begun to panic over the worsening situation.
