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 a soldier’s wound beguiles the pain of it.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
