Bob Schieffer’s first evening news broadcast may have been a preview of what Les Moonves has in mind for the future. CBS Evening News viewers “saw a more direct interaction between anchor and reporter,” CBSNews.com says. “Some correspondents spoke with Schieffer directly during their broadcast, and others broke their segments up, splicing interviews with field broadcasts and in-studio explanatory reports.”
> Update: 8:30pm: The AP reports: “Schieffer opened his first broadcast by saying, ‘Tonight, we turn a page at CBS News.’ A few new wrinkles were on display, including an opening segment where individual correspondents introduced their stories.”
