In 1988 CBS News started a new kind of news magazine: 48 Hours. The show drew its name, inspiration and original format from a CBS News documentary that was titled 48 Hours on Crack Street. The documentary, which attracted high ratings, was about the drug crisis and how it affected neighborhoods. Like the original documentary, the show focussed on showing events that occurred within a time span of 48 hours, hence the name. The format was phased out in the early 1990s and it became more of a standard news magazine. The series was anchored by Dan Rather. This is the theme they used to open the show.
