The network is expected to make a formal announcement on Wednesday.Pelley is currently on assignment for \"60 Minutes\" and had not hosted \"Evening News\" for several days. Sources said Pelley personally asked to have his office cleared out on Tuesday even though he was out of town.Pelley will anchor the show for an indefinite amount of time before making the move to \"60 Minutes.\" Anthony Mason, a CBS News Senior National Correspondent who had been filling in for Pelley while he was on assignment, is likely to host the show after that until CBS names a permanent replacement, the sources said."
