6:45 Huntley Brinkley Report

Was H-B tape-delayed 15 minutes, or did NBC do an extra feed at :45 back when the show was 15 minutes long?
 
}6:30 News-Bill Jorgenson
6:40 Weather-Big Wilson"

Two future stars of New York City broadcasting. Bill Jorgenson was the guy who made a 10 PM prime time newscast into a winner on WNEW-TV (which in turn built the whole foundation for what would later become Fox TV). Big Wilson spent years as part of the starting rotation of personalities at WNBC, most of the time following Don Imus.

And as Bill Jorgenson used to say, thanks for your time this time 'till next time....

I should rephrase that:Goddard has been a Weather Forecaster the better part of 49 years in Cleveland..

Stanislav:
I always assumed that 6:45 was the one EST feed of Huntley-Brinkley by NBC..

Al:
Paar, then Carson, had been carried by WEWS-TV 5 (ABC) from 1957 to 1965..

John"Bud" Dancy also went to "bigger and better things" when he was promoted to NBC as a Washington correspondent in 1966, also covering world news until his retirement in 1996..
