Talk:The Huntley–Brinkley Report

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure if this would belong in the article, but it's fun: During the height of the popularity of the Huntley-Brinkley report, Brinkley was in a restaurant in Cleveland (The Forum Cafeteria, IIRC), and, unusually, no one in the place seemed to pay him any attention. But when he was leaving, most of the patrons in the place said, in near unison, "Good night, David". ;Bear 02:55, 2004 Sep 5 (UTC) I'd include that along with the item that on their first night as co-anchors at CBS, (date unknown) Dan Rather and Connie Chung signed off with "Good night, Chet...Good night, David."

Eisenhower[edit]

The article claims 

[...]President Dwight D. Eisenhower let it be known that he was displeased by the switch.

It is not clear what the relevance of this is. (Was Eisenhover influencing programming on a regular basis? Was this a presidential task? Was he merely expressing a personal opinion?) Depending on the reason, the statement should be clarified or removed. 88.77.129.121 (talk) 07:21, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that the program, which later became wildly successful, began so inauspiciously that even the president of the United States let it be known that he was displeased by the change. Eisenhower had his press secretary, James Hagerty, call in NBC's White House correspondent, Ray Scherer, to let NBC know how he felt. Compson1 (talk) 03:27, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bolsted: Is that a transcription error?[edit]

"But you have bolsted my conviction" (in the final signoff) was the word spoken bolsted or bolstered? If bolsted, should a [sic] be added? Tetsuo (talk) 15:45, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
