Looking for the name of a TV show

[captpackrat]

I recall seeing an educational TV series when I was a teenager, it was done like a TV news program airing on some historical date, the middle ages, the reformation, etc.  There were sports, business and opinion segments, and even "commercials", all appropriate to the time period for that episode.  The show would always end with the anchor saying something like "And that's the way it was, October 12, 1492."

Anyone else remember this show?  And what the name was?

Might it have been one of the versions of You Are There? There was a revival in the 70s, and Walter Cronkite hosted the 50s and 70s versions.
