Television guide mix fades into a sprawling prime time slate
A dense TV grid lists shows across networks from 6:00 PM to 3:30 AM including news programs Nightline and Carter era retrospectives.

CBS reverses hard news stance on morning show shift
CBS will swap hard news for lighter fare on its two hour morning program starting January 14 with Bill Kurtis and Phyllis George. The move comes as CBS Morning News seeks viewers in sunrise hours, easing competition with ABCs Good Morning America and NBCs Today. Phyllis George replaces Diane Sawyer, who moved to 60 Minutes, while Phyllis brings a Miss America background to a softer, more interview driven format. Sawyer remains a seasoned reporter, noted for hard interviews with Indira Gandhi, John Updike, Ferdinand Marcos and Hyman Rickover, while Ed Bradley and the 60 Minutes team continue.
