Dan Rather is the former longtime anchor for the CBS Evening News. Rather was anchor of the CBS Evening News for 24 years, from March 9, 1981 to March 9, 2005. He also contributed to CBS’ 60 Minutes and received numerous Emmy Awards and several Peabody Awards for his work on television. He is now under contract and scheduled to serve as managing editor and anchor of a new television news magazine, “Dan Rather Reports,” on the new cable channel HDNet.

Rather began his career in 1950 as an Associated Press reporter in Huntsville, Texas. Later, he was a reporter for United Press International (1950-1952), several Texas radio stations, and the Houston Chronicle (1954-1955). In 1959, he entered television as a reporter for KTRK-TV in Houston. Rather was promoted to the director of news for KHOU-TV, the CBS affiliate in Houston. In early September 1961, Rather reported live from the Galveston Seawall as Hurricane Carla threatened the Texas coastline. This action impressed the network executives at CBS, and they hired him as a CBS News correspondent in 1962.

Rather succeeded Walter Cronkite as main anchor and Managing Editor of The CBS Evening News. Rather assumed the position upon Cronkite’s retirement, making his first broadcast on March 9, 1981. After witnessing and reporting some of the biggest stories in modern history, Rather retired as the anchorman and Managing Editor of the CBS Evening News in 2005. He worked as the anchorman for 24 full years, the longest tenure of anyone in American television history
