In the past, Walter Cronkite was the voice introducing Katie Couric on the CBS Evening News and for early six months after his death, his pre-recorded voice was still used. To add consistency and possiblity of new recordings, CBS has chosen Morgan Freeman to be the new voice of CBS Evening News.
"As comforting as it is to look back on the great career that Walter had, we're looking forward now and we just felt it was the right time to make the move that at some point had to be made," said CBS News and Sports President Sean McManus. "This seemed like the appropriate time since Walter's passing to make the move."
