(CBS NEWS) — It’s been almost 20 years since Dan Rather signed off from the anchor desk here at CBS News. Of the so-called “Big Three” TV anchormen back in the day, watched by some 50 million people a night, Rather was there the longest, almost a quarter-century.
In his 44 years with CBS, Rather held every post a network reporter could: bureau chief, war correspondent, foreign correspondent, White House correspondent.

But in 2006, a little more than a year after he stepped down from the anchor desk, Rather left CBS itself. “Dan Rather, CBS News, became sorta all part of my name, a part of my identity,” he said.
