===1948-1970===

The origins for what is now known as NBC Nightly News started at the National Broadcasting Company in 1948, when one of NBC’s affiliate stations started airing news reels produced by Paul Alley. These newsreels were the first television newsreels produced, and were titled,“20th Century Fox-Movietone News.” The newsreels- which were anchored by NBC'S [[John Cameron Swayz]]-became the sole television source for citizens to see what was going on in the world. In 1956, NBC producer Reuven Frank, put together an anchor team to cover the [[Democrat]] and [[Republican]] Presidential conventions. Impressed by their past work together in newsreels, Frank, asked reporters [[David Berkley]] and [[Chet Huntley]] to co-anchor NBC’s convention coverage. A few months later NBC created the, ''The Huntley-Brinkley Report''. This 15-minute report consisted of segments in which individuals talked about the day’s events. The two newscasters anchored from two different locations, one in [[New York]], and the other in [[Washington D.C]]. During the broadcast they would switch back and forth as they reported on the days news. The newscast became the most watched television show in America, with over 20 million viewers<ref>http://www.nps.gov/home/historyculture/upload/MW,pdf,HuntleyBio,b.pdf</ref>. At the end of each broadcast the co-anchors would say the now famous phase, "Good night, David...Good night, Chet.” In 1963, the network news program was expanded from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. Although the time change moved the program closer to what is known as NBC Nightly News today, the news format was still different.
