CBS Evening News with Katie Couric
Broadcast
2006
© CBS Columbia Broadcasting System
Katie Couric's first CBS Evening News. The broadcast accordingly recieved a complete overhaul, to invoke a warmer feel. The new set is flanked by huge monitors and includes an interview set decorated with classic CBS idents. The new theme is by James Horner, composer of Titanic, and has a suitably cinematic feel. The graphics are designed by the same company as the 2001 revamp (National Ministry of Design) and are thus the least changed aspect of the look. Walter Cronkite was brought in to provide the opening announcement.
