Charles Osgood, 83, retiring from CBS’ Sunday Morning after 22 years

He started reporting for CBS in 1967. Now, 49 years later, Charles Osgood, 83, is bidding the network farewell — with a melody. “So long, it’s been good to know you. A long time since I’ve been home. I’ve got to be driftin’ along,” he sang on air Sunday as he announced he was stepping down as host of “CBS News Sunday Morning.” He will stay on through Sept. 25. Osgood has been the face of the weekly program since 1994, when he took it over from its first host, Charles Kuralt. His replacement has yet to be announced.
