Prime Time News

Replacing The National and The Journal in 1992, Prime Time News blazed its own trail from the start. Critics called its debut in a 9 p.m. timeslot suicidal. Co-hosted by Peter Mansbridge and Pamela Wallin, it mixed long-form documentaries with in-depth news reports and interviews. But it couldn't compete against primetime dramas. It was pushed back to 10 p.m. and re-jigged after a year. Mansbridge became sole anchor and Wallin hosted the final half hour Prime Time Magazine segment. Hana Gartner replaced Wallin after her controversial firing in 1995, and the show was re-christened The National.
