ABC's "World News" anchor Charlie Gibson is retiring -- and will be replaced by "Good Morning America" anchor Diane Sawyer in January.
ABC has now confirmed the move.
Sawyer, 63, now becomes the second woman to anchor an evening newscast-- joining Katie Couric, who's been anchoring the "CBS Evening News" since September 2006.
Gibson, 66, has anchored "World News" since May 2006, when he replaced Elizabeth Vargas and Bob Woodruff, who'd been severely injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq four months before.
He will anchor "World News" through the end of the year.
There's no word, yet, on how this will affect "Good Morning America," co-anchored by Chris Cuomo and Robin Roberts.

Charlie Gibson showed at the Presidential Debate on ABC how much he hated Barack Obama and it's been hard for him to fake it since Obama won. Charlie might get a job with Fox News and team up with Glenn Beck. It's really hard for all those who are racist right now as they have to keep their true feeling inside.
I was never a fan of his, or Diane Sawyer. Still won't be watching that station.
