Something New Under the Sun

To commemorate its 30th anniversary, Sunday Morning has commissioned world-renowned artist Red Grooms to create his own interpretation of the program's sun logo, its signature emblem for the last three decades.

Grooms, who is known for his large-scale, intensely colored sculptural pieces, draws on his famous bright palette and his gift for creating whimsical characters to design a collection of seven images in honor of the broadcast.

Sunday Morning will debut these works during this weekend's broadcast on Feb. 1, at 9 a.m. ET on the CBS network.

Anchored by Charles Osgood, the broadcast also will feature a report on the significance of Sundays throughout American history, from the Sabbath to the Super Bowl, and will examine the scientific, spiritual and cultural impact the sun has on all of us.

Additionally, Rita Braver will reflect on how the world has and has not changed since its debut on Jan. 28, 1979, unveiling some surprising results from a CBS News-New York Times poll examining how Americans' perspectives on key issues have evolved over the years.

Jeff Greenfield contemplates "media convergence" and how news and video can reach us anywhere, anytime, anyplace, and everyplace.

Martha Teichner takes an in-depth look at the very sun itself.

And there will be opportunities for viewers to share their own thoughts and opinions with special features on the Web, including segment.

Under the leadership of Rand Morrison, executive producer, Sunday Morning will continue its look back at 30 years of broadcast history through the coming weeks and months.
