LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - CBS News on Wednesday confirmed that "CBS This Morning" co-host Bianna Golodryga has left the program, a sign that the network has begun to reshape its morning show as it grapples to win new A.M. viewership.

"Bianna Golodryga has decided to leave the network," CBS News said in a statement."We thank her for her many contributions during her time here at CBS News and wish her the very best in her future endeavors."

The network confirmed that Golodryga had been offered another role that involved the morning show and other CBS News properties, but declined.

"Some professional news: I've enjoyed my time @CBSNews, but it is now the right moment for me to move on," Golodryga said via a post on Twitter. "I'm grateful for the friends and colleagues I've worked with @CBSThisMorning, and wish everyone the best. On to the next chapter!"

CBS News President Susan Zirinsky announced the move to "CBS This Morning" staffers at 3 p.m. Wednesday.
