CBS goodbye

Leave a comment

This was the network of choice in the 60s at our home. Walter Cronkite in the evening. Others like Rather, Schieffer, Pelley, O’Donnell and more. Shows like I Love Lucy and Ed Sullivan were early staples in my youth. Then All In the Family and MASH captured me for years.

I’ve split my time between the CBS Morning Show and The Today show. We would tune in 60 Minutes each week. Weekends I always watch CBS Sunday Morning. That is probably the last thing I will tune into on the CBS network, but I can see that changing in the future if the show changes.

At one time they were noted as America’s Most Watched Network. Not for me anymore. It’s more than what happened to The Late Show, even though that was a prime example. The Late Show helped sustain me and gave me some hope and now that has been silenced.

To me it comes down to trust. This network has lost my trust. And I’m guessing I’m too old now for them to win it back so thank you for the years of integrity and great programming. Goodbye and good luck with the leadership you have.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
