writing credit: Norman Corwin

GoodBye Uncle Walter ...you will be missed

Sounds exactly like the guy who voiced over the Discovery documentary movies. Is he that guy?

Yes, it is.

Still open for broadcast but more has been added. Andromeda and Jubilee thus with the electronic ear and the eye Cyclops who plays a part of the electronic era, he has added and evolved as of the beginning of the 21st Century there has been many changes added to Broadcasting. From the little brown box known as the radio to the late 1930s, television Felix the cat who was the first model, from there the early years of microwave transmission which beamed pictures of Governors island in New York America's first President was broadcast live on the opening day of World's Fair. Andromeda and Jubilee with their electron ear and Cyclops with his pictures brought back television after World War 2 year 1947. From there history! As time came and went. Andromeda, Jubilee, and Cyclops once more set the ground work for broadcasting to evolve one more. The 21st Century has brought about changes on how we as humans watch television. Cable, Dish-TV, HD, Netflix, and other digital down loads so now how will history record this second wave of evolvement? Which will become the second 50 years?

It is a testament to the sheer authoritativeness of Walter Cronkite that he could make a string of platitudinous sentence fragments sound like the most important thing ever said.

Wow, I can't believe they got Jerry Herman, Jule Styne, Sammy Cahn and especially Leonard Bernstein to write the music for this show.

Richard C. Hottelet 7:44 and Eric Sevareid 6:41, representing "Murrow's Boys"

"Network @50," by Norman Corwin, from CBS: On the Air, spoken as only Cronkite could speak it.

THIS..........was CBS.

What a closing scene! It's like a KCBS news helicopter took off from the landing pad at the CBS Television City building. I see the late-CBS News greats: Walter Cronkite, Douglas Edwards, Eric Severied, Ed Bradley and Charles Kuralt. The CBS News greats are still living: Dan Rather, Mike Wallace, Bob Schieffer (looking awfully young). Also, was that Hughes Rudd (anchor of the CBS Morning News in the early 70s)?
