Jane Pauley named new anchor of CBS Sunday Morning
Veteran journalist Jane Pauley is the new anchor of CBS Sunday Morning.
Charles Osgood retired Sunday after 22 years as the program's anchor and 45 years total with CBS News. Pauley, who will take over the show on Oct. 9, joined Sunday Morning in 2014 as a contributor, and is becoming just the third anchor in the program's history. Pauley said Osgood "set the standard" for the show, and she is looking forward to "bringing loyal viewers the kind of engaging, original reporting that has made the broadcast so irresistible for so long."
CBS News President David Rhodes had high praise for Pauley on Sunday, saying she is the "ideal host" for Sunday Morning and, like Osgood, is a "television news legend." Pauley spent 13 years as co-host of the Today show and a decade as anchor of Dateline NBC; has received several Emmy Awards, the Edward R. Murrow Award for outstanding achievement, and the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism; and has written two bestselling books.
