CBS News announced Sunday that it had hired Condoleezza Rice, the former Secretary of State, to become a regular contributor.
The appointment was made by the CBS News chairman, Jeff Fager, and the president, David Rhodes.
Ms. Rice, who was Secretary of State under President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2009, and National Security Advisor from 2001 to 2005, is expected to comment regularly on national and international issues, CBS said.
Other figures from the Bush administration have been hired as television commentators, including Karl Rove, the former deputy chief of staff, and the former UN ambassador, John Bolton, both at Fox News.
Since leaving office, Ms. Rice has worked as professor of political economy and political science at Stanford University, and is a founding partner of a business consulting firm, RiceHadleyGates.
