An original, two-hour documentary that examines the rise of Walter Cronkite, network evening news and America’s confidence airs tonight at 8 on Weigel Broadcasting and CBS’s Decades diginet.

Eye On The World: The Rise of Walter Cronkite and the Evening News looks at how Americans relied on Walter Cronkite through the 1960s and ’70s to get their news of the day, and how he inspired such confidence that he became known as “the most trusted man in America.”

“For so many, Walter was the face of TV news and the person we counted on each night to help make sense of national and world events,” said Neal Sabin, Weigel Broadcasting’s vice chairman.

Eye On The World: The Rise of Walter Cronkite and the Evening News traces the journalist’s career and the ascension of the CBS Evening News over the course of events that defined the era: The assassination of President John F. Kennedy, The Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War and Watergate. Cronkite remained behind the desk as many of the nation’s leaders rose and fell, some by fate, some by violence others by choice.
