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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
