===The ''In the News'' era (1971–1986)===
From 1971 to 1986, [[CBS News]] produced a series of one-minute segments titled ''[[In the News]]'', which aired between other Saturday morning programs. The "micro-series" (as it would be labelled today) had its genesis in a series of animated interstitials produced by CBS and [[Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera Productions]] called ''In the Know'', featuring the title characters from [[Josie and the Pussycats (TV series)|Josie and the Pussycats]] narrating educational news segments tailored for children. This eventually evolved into a more live-action-oriented micro-series.
The network premiered its first in-house animated series since their original [[Terrytoons]], ''[[CBS Storybreak]]'', in 1985; originally hosted by Bob Keeshan, the half-hour series – which featured animated adaptations of popular children's books – was nominated for an Emmy Award for "Outstanding Animated Program" in 1986. ''Storybreak'' continued to air on the network in reruns until 1991, before returning in September 1993 with new hosted segments conducted by [[Malcolm-Jamal Warner]].
