The Huntley–Brinkley Report (sometimes known as The Texaco
Huntley–Brinkley Report for one of its early sponsors) was a
evening news program that aired on NBC from October 29, 1956,
to July 31, 1970. It was anchored by Chet Huntley in New York
City, and David Brinkley in Washington, D.C. It succeeded the
Camel News Caravan, anchored by John Cameron Swayze. The
program ran for 15 minutes at its inception but expanded to 30
minutes on September 9, 1963, exactly a week after the CBS
Evening News with Walter Cronkite did so. (From Wikipedia)
