Behind the Broadcasts
The programming draws from content aired on networks including CBS News and WSGW 790 AM & 100.5 FM, with a reported emphasis on a deliberate pace and segments dedicated to the performing arts. The show's signature fanfare and sun logo precede news updates and weather forecasts, leading into longer-form reporting. Journalist Jane Pauley currently helms the program, succeeding Charles Osgood, who hosted for 22 years. Other broadcasts, such as "Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips" on World News, indicate a broader international reach with programming focused on politics.
