The Early Show is an American television morning news talk show broadcast by CBS from New York City. The program airs from 7 to 9 a.m. Monday through Friday, 8 to 10 a.m. Saturdays in eastern time zones. It airs live on most affiliates in the Eastern Time Zone, but is tape delayed in the remaining time zones. The Early Show features celebrity interviews and light entertainment and news pieces. In some markets, the Saturday version may not air. Having premiered on November 1, 1999, it is the youngest of the major networks' morning shows, although CBS has programmed in that timeslot continuously since 1965.[citation needed]
The Early Show, like many of its predecessors, has traditionally run third in the ratings to its rivals, NBC's Today and ABC's Good Morning America. Much like NBC's The Today Show and The Tonight Show, the title The Early Show is analogous to that of CBS' late-night talk show, Late Show.
Saturday edition
The Saturday edition of The Early Show premiered in September 1997 as CBS Saturday Morning. It is anchored by Chris Wragge of WCBS and Betty Nguyen.[15] WCBS' chief meteorologist Lonnie Quinn serves as weather anchor, and Rebecca Jarvis serves as news anchor. Nguyen is temporarily anchoring while Erica Hill is on maternity leave, no date has been given for her return. The show features news and lifestyle segments, including two holdovers from the original CBS Saturday Morning: Chef on a Shoestring (a cooking segment) and The Second Cup Cafe (a music segment).
As of 2008, The Saturday Early Show no longer carries a separate name from the weekday edition, and is introduced simply as The Early Show. The program is broadcast live beginning at 8:00 a.m. ET on Saturday mornings from the GM Building on Fifth Avenue in New York City, across the street from Central Park. It airs at various times through the country on most CBS stations. However, depending on the time zone it may or may not air (some CBS affiliates preempt the Saturday morning edition for local newscasts, and some push up the timeslot of the Saturday morning children's program block after the newscast if it ends before 9:00 a.m. in order to make up for it).
The Early Show does not carry a Sunday edition, nor are there any plans for one in the near future, due to the continued success of CBS News Sunday Morning, which has a distinctly different format with long form journalism reports and in depth interview segments.
[edit]Early Backstage
Introduced July 14, 2009, The Early Show's Web site features a daily blog called Early Backstage giving visitors a look at things not seen on the broadcast, such as after-the-show anchor antics, celebrity interviews and behind-the-scenes features. Early Backstage is hosted by Adam Wurtzel (Adam the Audience Guy).
[edit]Ratings
CBS has been the perennial third-place finisher in the morning race since 1976, placing second only a few times in the past 30 years. CBS beat Good Morning America for second place the weeks of January 17, 1977 and December 28, 1998. The Today Show was in first place both times. However, CBS outrated The Today Show for second spot over a few weeks in 1984 when Jane Pauley was on maternity leave. At that time, Good Morning America was ranked #1.[16]
In 2007, CBS sought to change the 3rd place position of The Early Show in September 2007 by hiring Shelly Ross, former executive producer of GMA from 1999–2004. Significant changes were made to the program as Ross asserted her influence. For instance, the network no longer allows the frequent local station breaks that were previously allowed during the former broadcast as of January 7, 2008.[17] CBS reportedly views the removal of those breaks as vital to creating a national profile for the program.[citation needed]
However, some CBS affiliates continue to air the full program on another co-owned sister station and continue to air their local morning news; WWL-TV in New Orleans has never aired the Early Show or any of its previous versions, broadcasting all local newscasts instead, currently from 5am-9am. The Early Show now airs in New Orleans on MyNetworkTV sister station WUPL. Cincinnati's WKRC-TV airs the full show on the CBS station with an hour of all-local news on the co-owned CW channel. Salt Lake City's KUTV (which was formerly owned by the network until 2007) continues to pre-empt the program's first hour despite the network's insistence.[citation needed]
Industry insiders considered Ross' influence to be a serious threat and bring the profile of the show up to make the program a true competitor to NBC's Today and ABC's Good Morning America. After six months, Ross was fired from the position, after frequent feuds with staff, particularly Smith and Chen, who reportedly informed managemnt that either Ross would have to go or they would.[18]
In 2008, TV season, The Early Show is showing ratings strength with double-digit increases compared with a year earlier. Today has averaged 6 million viewers (up 6%) and a 2.2 in adults 25-54 (flat). ABC's Good Morning America has averaged 4.9 million (up 1%) and a 1.7 in adults aged 25-54 (flat). Early Show has averaged 3.5 million (up 20%) and a 1.3 in adults 25-54 (up 30%).[19]
For the fourth quarter of 2008 (9/22/08-12/28/08), The Early Show (2.92 million viewers) posted its best delivery among total viewers in three years (since 2.93m in 2005) and cut the gap with GMA by 578,000 viewers. The CBS broadcast is also in its closest competitive position to both GMA and Today in a decade in total viewers and the key news demographic of adults aged 25-54.[citation needed]

The Early Show 2,920,000 2,780,000 +5%

Year-to-year, CBS' The Early Show cut the Total Viewer gap by 190,000 between 2nd place Good Morning America.[20]

Ages 25-54 rating: NBC: 2.1/15 / ABC: 1.7/11 / CBS: 1.2/8
On WBNS-TV 10 in Columbus, the first half-hour of The Early Show managed to surpass NBC's Today in ratings.[21] All three broadcasts increased viewership from the prior week.
Total Viewers: NBC: 5,700,000 / ABC: 4,600,000 / CBS: 3,100,000
Ages 25-54 Rating: NBC: 2.1 / ABC: 1.6 / CBS: 1.1[22]
Even as Smith, Chen and Rodriguez grow more comfortable after CBS's failed experiment with a four-anchor team, their program remains far behind its rivals. After the May sweeps, The Early Show boasted of a 5 percent increase in viewers, while Today dipped 3 percent and Good Morning America by 4 percent.[9]
[edit]Theme music
The debut theme for the The Early Show' was a typical opener for an American morning news program. When the show reformatted with new hosts and set they used an instrumental version of Sting's 1999 hit, Brand New Day until late October 2006, when it was replaced by the CBS Evening News theme from James Horner. In January 7, 2008, CBS made an attempt to relaunch the show with new hosts and set plus an updated theme music that of the James Horner's composition. The theme was modified for a number of times since the reformat took launch.
