CBS Morning News

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CBS Morning News is the half-hour daily television broadcast from CBS News that airs following Up to the Minute. It airs from 4:30 to 5 a.m. in many markets (it is updated for the different time zones across the United States) and features late-breaking news stories, weather forecasts, and sports scores. Its current anchor is Susan McGinnis.

The program first aired on October 4, 1982 as the CBS Early Morning News, with then-Morning News anchors Bill Kurtis and Diane Sawyer anchoring. Sawyer departed both programs for 60 Minutes in the fall of 1984 and was briefly succeeded on both shows by Jane Wallace. For the first half of 1985, Kurtis would continue to anchor the Early Morning News solo until March while continuing to co-anchor Morning News with Phyllis George until July. Faith Daniels took over and would remain on the anchor desk, most of the time sharing the anchor desk with Forrest Sawyer (July to December 1985 and January to September 1987) and later Douglas Edwards and Charles Osgood, until leaving to anchor NBC News at Sunrise in 1990. Osgood would remain on the job until June 1992, paired with Victoria Corderi (April 1990-August 1991), Giselle Fernández (to February 1992), and Meredith Vieira (for the remainder of Osgood's term). After Vieira left in March 1993, the turnover continued, as shown below:

  • John Roberts (June 1992-June 1994)
  • Monica Gayle (August 1993-April 1995)
  • Jane Robelot (April 1995-August 1996)
  • Troy Roberts (April 1995-August 1996)
  • Cynthia Bowers (August 1996-December 1998)
  • Thalia Assuras (August 1996-1999?)
  • Julie Chen (1999?-October 2002)
  • Susan McGinnis (October 2002-present)

The current CBS Morning News (renamed on January 12, 1987 when CBS debuted its ill-fated Morning Program) is unrelated to the breakfast program of the same name, which ran from September 2, 1963, until January 1979, when it was renamed "(day of week) Morning" (later just "Morning"). It is currently known today as The Early Show.
