Throughout most of his tenure as the anchor of the CBS Evening News, Dan Rather did not have any partner-- he was a solo anchor, as his predecessor Walter Cronkite had been. But in 1993, he was given a co-anchor, news reporter Connie Chung. It did not go well-- the two had little chemistry and Rather was upset that he was no longer the solo anchor. In 1995, Chung and Rather were split up, and the disastrous effort at giving Rather a co-anchor came to an end.
