CBS NewsBreak 090918

Katie Couric anchors the final edition of CBS Newsbreak on Friday September 18, 2009. It followed the final edition of "Guiding Light" on CBS. Back in the days before 24-7 cable news, these roughly one-minute news updates were the primary source for national and world news information for CBS television audiences during the day. While CBS, NBC, and ABC all had variations of these updates at times, CBS was the only network that had continued this tradition with this daily 4pm ET update. This feed was taken from WCAX, Burlington VT.

@dmine45 ABC still does them at the end of One Life to Live!

I saw this too. It was sad to know it was the last one, it was one of those things that you always know is going to air, it is sad that it is gone, but like you said the internet killed it. But I do like how she messes that last line up. Thats ok though, a nice ending.

I never knew they were still doing them. Guess I just don't notice them. Still, it's a pleasant, convenient way of getting news.

I'm getting old.

You said it proudly, Katie. It was an end to a great daytime tradition like "Guiding Light", but it also ends the run of CBS NewsBreak. Our world never stops, so does the news. I think we owe everything to The Internet AND Cable.
