Dan Rather Returns to CBS News After 18 Years
Former Anchor to Appear on CBS Sunday Morning
CBS News veteran Dan Rather is set to make a brief return to the network on Sunday, April 25th, 2024, for an interview on CBS Sunday Morning.
Rather's appearance will mark his first on CBS since he left the network in 2005 after 44 years. The interview is part of a larger documentary about Rather's career, which will air on Netflix later this year.
"I'm excited to be back at CBS and to have the opportunity to talk about my career," Rather said in a statement. "I've always been a proud member of the CBS family, and I'm grateful for this opportunity to share my story with viewers."
Rather joined CBS News in 1962 and served as the anchor of the CBS Evening News from 1981 to 2005. He is known for his aggressive reporting style and his coverage of major news events, including the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War.
Rather's return to CBS comes at a time when the network is facing declining viewership. The interview with Rather is seen as an attempt to boost ratings and to attract older viewers who remember Rather's tenure at the network.
It is unclear if Rather's appearance on CBS Sunday Morning will be a one-time event or if he will have a more permanent role with the network. However, his return is sure to generate a lot of interest from viewers who have missed his unique brand of journalism.
