Pauley replacing Osgood on ‘Sunday Morning’

NEW YORK

Jane Pauley is becoming a morning television host again. CBS said Sunday she will replace Charles Osgood as anchor of the “Sunday Morning” telecast.

The bow-tied Osgood told viewers at the end of his last telecast after 22 years that Pauley would replace him. She’s been a contributor to the show since 2014.

Pauley will be only the third host of the program since its 1979 start with Charles Kuralt. “Sunday Morning” averages nearly six million viewers a week, the most popular morning news program on the weekend, heavy on features and a quiet, cultured vibe.
