(New York, NY)  —  A new voice is coming to “CBS Evening News.”  Actor Morgan Freeman has recorded a new voiceover introducing the news program hosted by Katie Couric.   Freeman replaces the late Walter Cronkite, who recorded the previous “Evening News” intro when Couric began hosting the show in 2006.  CBS chose to keep the legendary anchor’s voice on the air for nearly six months following his death in July 2009.  The new voiceover by Freeman will give the network the freedom to record different introductions when Couric is on location and for special reports.
