Dan Rather Reports is a weekly news television show hosted by former CBS news anchor Dan Rather and airing on AXS TV from 2006 until 2013. [1]

Contents

The show premiered on November 14, 2006, when Rather was 75 years old. As host, correspondent, and narrator, [2] Rather had been given full creative and editorial control over the new program. [3] Rather planned to focus the show on field correspondence news, investigative journalism, and politics. [4] The hour-long show is broadcast on Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET (rebroadcast at 11:00). [2] Its longer format allows for more in-depth presentation of issues. [5]

Initially The New York Times commented that it "seems to favor Democrats who love America". [2]

In 2008, Dan Rather Reports was awarded a News and Documentary Emmy. [6] The show was also nominated for Emmy awards in 2007 and 2009. [7] [8]
