CBS News Sunday Morning premiered on CBS in 1979. Created by Robert Northshield and original executive producer Charles Kuralt, the program was designed as a thoughtful alternative to traditional hard-news broadcasts. It quickly became known for its distinctive pacing, in-depth storytelling, and signature sun imagery that opens each episode.
The show combines national and international reporting with arts coverage, profiles, commentary, and feature storytelling. Unlike weekday newscasts, CBS News Sunday Morning emphasizes long-form segments and cultural exploration. Topics regularly include politics, science, literature, film, music, and American life, presented with reflective narration and documentary-style production.
Over the decades, the news program has evolved while maintaining its core format. It continues to deliver investigative reports and timely interviews alongside lighter features and commentary pieces. The broadcast consistently ranks among the most-watched Sunday morning news programs in the United States and has expanded its presence through digital platforms and streaming distribution.
CBS News Sunday Mornings is currently hosted by Jane Pauley, who took over as anchor in 2016. She succeeded Charles Osgood, who hosted the show for over twenty years after the original host, Charles Kuralt. Besides Pauley, the show also features several correspondents and other CBS personalities like Margaret Brennan, Mo Rocca, Tracy Smith, Steve Hartman, Seth Doane, and Martha Teichner.
