Brian Williams: 5 years at NBC Nightly News

December 2nd, 2009 joel

I know that the 30 minute evening network newscast are dinosaurs that are supposedly only viewed by the upper demos with leaky bladders and slipping dentures. But I’ve been watching network news since I was a preteen, and find it the best way to catch all of the news in a short capsule.

All three broadcast networks have had evening news anchor changes this decade, but the only one that has had lasting success is on NBC, where Brian Williams rose to the anchor chair left by Tom Brokaw, five years ago Wednesday.
