Classic Televison - Weekdays


CBS Morning News
Original run
1963 - 1979
1982 - 1987
The CBS Morning News title was originally used as the name of a conventional morning news program that served as a predecessor to the network's current morning program, CBS This Morning. For most of the 1960s and 1970s, the program aired as a 60-minute hard news broadcast at 7:00 a.m., preceding Captain Kangaroo and airing opposite NBC's Today. Walter Cronkite and sportscaster Jim McKay both anchored the original CBS Morning News at one time. When CBS reformatted the early morning broadcast, the CBS Morning News became a pre-dawn 30-minute news broadcast.
