In the fall of 1994, "Prime Time News" returned to the 10 p.m. time slot, and to a format closer to the old "National" and "Journal". Mansbridge again became the sole anchor of the news portion of the show, and Wallin became the host of a magazine segment very similar to "The Journal". However, the show retained the name "Prime Time News" for the 1994–1995 television season, and Wallin sometimes appeared as substitute anchor of the main news portion when Mansbridge was absent.
