coanchors

Newsdesk pair together

Coanchors are the hosts who share anchor duties on a news broadcast, typically appearing together at the same desk.

The format became standard in American television news, pairing anchors for chemistry and coverage flexibility: The coanchors bantered briefly before cutting to commercial.

As a verb, to coanchor is to share these duties: She coanchors the evening news.
