The CBS Evening News is a TV institution, having some of the most well-known journalists in the world anchor it through its many decades on the air. It's currently anchored by veteran newsman Bob Schieffer, who took over when Dan Rather retired early in 2005. The half hour show covers both international and domestic news.
Hosts Gayle King, Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson set out to unite CBS' morning landscape with their lively and original reporting on international news stories during the weekday program's first hour, while expanding on feature reporting during the second hour with live interviews as well as in-depth pieces, covering topics from news, sports, climate and technology to race, health, parenting and personal finance. The team broadcasts from a new state-of-the-art studio in New York's Times Square.
