PBS announced this morning that veteran reporter Jim Lehrer is stepping down from the main anchor spot on PBS's ''NewsHour with Jim Lehrer,'' effective June 6, after 36 years of occupying an anchor's chair on the show.

That move created a multi-anchor team that featured Lehrer plus Senior Correspondents Gwen Ifill, Judy Woodruff, Jeffrey Brown, Ray Suarez and Margaret Warner. That team will continue hosting the broadcast on a rotating basis. Lehrer will remain involved in the editorial direction of the PBS Newshour and the program's producer, MacNeil/Lehrer Productions.
