History
The original CBS Morning News began as a predecessor to the network's current CBS This Morning. For most of the 1960s and 1970s the broadcast aired as a 60-minute hard news broadcast at 7:00 a.m., opposite Today on NBC and preceding Captain Kangaroo on CBS. When CBS re-formatted the early morning broadcast, the CBS Morning News became a pre-dawn 30 minute news broadcast. Walter Cronkite and sportscaster Jim McKay both anchored the original CBS Morning News at one time.
