Chet Huntley? I remember the Huntley-Brinkley report. We seldoml know the ages of our fellow freepers, so I wonder how many others remember the Huntley-Brinkley report on NBC.
I remember them. Harry Reasoner and good old Uncle Walter, the commie bastard.
I do.
My Dad would watch them every night.
That was back in the day when they reported the news and not opinion.
I remember.
I do...but my dad preferred Howard K. Smith and Harry Reasoner on ABC but he always said that Walter Cronkite was a phony.
I remember them..... Good night, Chet. Good night, David. And good night, for NBC News.
I remember when there was no television, just radio, in my little corner of East Tennessee where I was born in 1939.
Eric Sevareid. Gabriel Heatter. Edward R. Murrow.
How’s that.
I remember. And I remember that Huntley Lodge in Big Sky, Montana was owned by Chet Huntley. I never stayed there, but the bus from Bozeman to West Yellowstone made a stop at Huntley Lodge. Fly in to Bozeman. Bus to W. Yellowstone. Snowmobile all over The Park and down to Idaho Big Springs, where Clark’s Fork (?) comes out of the ground.
“Good night Chet.” “Good Night David”
I remember Huntley-Brinkley. I was young but my parents watched them at dinner. I seem to recall Brinkley (later at ABC) seemed a pretty fair and balanced sort.
My step-mother read an article in Reader's Digest that told her that more than an hour of TV per day was bad for kids. Since my step-brother was sorta slow, guess what? Proof of concept.
I wasn't going to let two old, boring, guys cut into the small window of watching I had.
I was a whipper-snapper.
