Wallace only lasted a year with the change in hours and eventually tired of the grind, leaving to cover Richard Nixon's comeback for CBS News. Wallace suggested Los Angeles newsman Joseph Benti as his replacement.

1970s

It was during Joseph Benti's run (through August 28, 1970) that the program became the first regularly-scheduled one-hour newscast ever on network television on March 31, 1969. Events 475 - The Roman General Orestes forces western Roman Emperor Julius Nepos to flee his Capital The year 1970 in television involved some significant eventsBelow is a list of Television -related events in 1970.

The Washington Post is the largest and most circulated Newspaper in Washington D Sally Sterling Quinn (born January 7, 1941) is an American Author and Journalist. Unfortunately for CBS, within days the hugely-publicized pairing of what was dubbed by the press "the beauty and the grouch" (referring to Quinn and Rudd respectively) turned out to be a disaster, mainly due to Quinn's lack of television experience and obvious sloppiness. Quinn was gone after six months, leaving after the February 1, 1974 telecast. Events 1327 - Teenaged Edward III is crowned King of England, but the country is ruled by his mother Queen The year 1974 in television involved some significant eventsBelow is a list of Television -related events in 1974.

The program featured long pieces from CBS News bureaus, and many viewed it as a highbrow, classy newscast in the best CBS tradition. Still, despite critical acclaim, the show remained dead last in the ratings, and CBS was under more pressure from affiliates to present a more viable morning competitor. Nielsen Ratings are audience measurement systems developed by Nielsen Media Research to determine the Audience size and composition of television So on September 28, 1981, Morning dropped the days of the week from its title (except for Sunday Morning), and was extended to 90 minutes and added Diane Sawyer as co-host; in the process, Captain Kangaroo was reduced to a half-hour daily and pushed to an earlier time period (7:00 a.

Along the way it reassumed the CBS Morning News title. An understandably exhausted Kuralt was relieved of his duties on the weekday broadcasts in March 1982, at a time when a restrucuring on the Evening News (no doubt owing to new anchor Dan Rather's ratings problems) forced his popular On the Road segments to be gradually phased out. Year 1982 ( MCMLXXXII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link displays the 1982 Gregorian calendar) The year 1982 in television involved some significant eventsBelow is a list of Television -related events in 1982. Daniel Irvin "Dan" Rather Jr (born October 31, 1931) is a journalist and former news anchor for the CBS Evening News By this time management decided that morning news programming should be more competitive and hired Bill Kurtis, who was then anchoring WBBM-TV's highly-rated evening newscasts in Chicago, as Sawyer's co-host.

The 1980s

CBS News correspondents Jane Wallace and Meredith Vieira briefly alternated as interim co-host in an on-air try-out that lasted several months, but both were passed over for the permanent spot. Jane Wallace is an American journalist She was correspondent for CBS News as well as the news magazine West 57th. Meredith Louise Vieira (born December 30, 1953) is an American Journalist, Television personality, and Game show host Instead, CBS settled for former Miss America and NFL Today co-host Phyllis George, who was given a three-year contract following a two-week trial run. The Miss America pageant is a long-standing competition which awards scholarships to young women from the 50 states plus the District of Columbia and the US Virgin Islands The NFL Today is also the name of the Radio show that corresponds with the television show Phyllis Ann George Brown (born 25 June 1949) is an American businesswoman Unfortunately, like Sally Quinn before her, George turned out to be a disastrous choice. Sally Sterling Quinn (born January 7, 1941) is an American Author and Journalist. There was no chemistry between her and Kurtis onscreen (in fact, they reportedly never got along off-camera either), and it was obvious (or due, to depending on one's point-of-view at the time) that despite her career as a sportscaster, and host of Candid Camera she had no news experience at all. Candid Camera was a Television series created and produced by Allen Funt, which initially began on Radio as Candid Microphone As a result, the CBS Morning News under Kurtis and George became a case study in how not to manage a news organization.

The low point of her very brief tenure came on May 14, 1985 during George's interview with false rape accuser Cathleen Crowell Webb and the man whom she had falsely accused, Gary Dotson. Events 1264 - Battle of Lewes: Henry III of England is captured in France making Simon de Montfort the The year 1985 in television involved some significant eventsBelow is a list of Television -related events in 1985. Gary Dotson is an American man who was the first person in the world to be exonerated of a criminal conviction by DNA evidence. In an effort to get the two to make amends to each other, George made a simple suggestion: "How about a hug?" Both Webb and Dotson graciously refused. That infamous interview alienated audiences and was blasted by critics, helping to put an unpleasant close to George's television career at that point. A very unhappy Bill Kurtis subsequently departed from the show and resigned from CBS News in July, returning to Chicago and his old anchor spot at WBBM-TV. Year 1985 ( MCMLXXXV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link displays 1985 Gregorian calendar) Once again Bob Schieffer served as a brief replacement. Phyllis George eventually left CBS for good that fall.

After some convulsions on the part of both CBS management (who blanched at paying three million dollars for someone to do nothing) and George, Forrest Sawyer and Maria Shriver made a grim effort to broadcast a respectable show for a year after that. Forrest DeWitt Sawyer (born April 19, 1949) is an American broadcast journalist most recently seen anchoring The CBS Evening News. Maria Owings Shriver ( born November 6 1955 is an award-winning American journalist a prolific author and First Lady of California. However CBS News management had other ideas in September 1986; they announced that the still-unsuccessful show would be put under the entertainment division as part of another drastic format change. Year 1986 ( MCMLXXXVI) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link displays 1986 Gregorian calendar) The year 1986 in television involved some significant eventsBelow is a list of Television -related events in 1986. Many employees were appalled; as medical correspondent Dr. Bob Arnot put it, "They shot it in the head. " In the interim, Bruce Morton returned briefly to share the duties with Early Morning News anchor Faith Daniels until the new format was ready. CBS Morning News is the half-hour daily television broadcast from CBS News that airs following Up to the Minute. Faith Daniels ( March 9, 1957, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania) became nationally known for her role in anchoring some of America's most popular News

The format was aborted and the time slot returned to the news division after a ten-and-a-half-month run. Hartley and Smith were dumped, while Saget left to star on the ABC sitcom, "Full House". Full House is an American Television sitcom that originally ran from September 22 1987 to May 23 1995 on ABC. A longtime producer summed up this version of the program upon its demise by saying, ". . . everyone thought we had the lowest ratings you could have in the morning.
