The national newscasts of ABC News, NBC News and CBS News have traditionally featured one anchor.
There was an exception when Connie Chung co-anchored the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather. She eventually was fired, and Rather continued anchoring solo. Word inside CBS at the time was Rather was unhappy with Chung.
I have been an ABC News viewer since the beginning of World News Tonight which was anchored by three men. Frank Reynolds in Washington, Max Robinson from Chicago and Peter Jennings in London which began in 1978.
In 1983, Peter Jennings was named the solo anchor of World News Tonight up until 2005, when Peter passed away from lung cancer.
Katie Couric gave solo anchoring a try at CBS News. This lasted for five years when she decided to move on.
