Report of Senator McCarthyEdit
Murrow produced a number of episodes of the show that dealt with the Communist witch-hunt hysteria (one of the more notable episodes resulted in a U.S. military officer, Milo Radulovich, being acquitted, after being charged with supporting Communism), before embarking on a broadcast on March 9, 1954[2][3]
2000sEdit
In September 2006, "See It Now" became the slogan for a relaunched CBS Evening News with new anchor Katie Couric.[4]
