Sunday Morning

Sunday Morning from 1980, with the great Charles Kuralt hosting. Easily the most distinctive news programme on American television, Sunday Morning focuses more on arts and culture and has a laid-back, relaxed style. The theme music is a version of the Trumpet fanfare "Abblasen". Note that the opening sequence displays only six days – this is intentional. During this time, CBS was using the Sunday Morning format on weekdays, as "Morning" – the weekday version eventually reverted to a more traditional style. Kuralt remarks on the coming of a 60-channel future. Today, even 60 channels seems quaint!
