{{QuoteBox2|quote=Good night, David...<br>Good night, Chet!|source=Chet Huntley<br>& David Brinkley}}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 newsreels produced by Paul Alley. These newsreels were the first television newsreels produced, and were titled ''20th Century Fox-Movietone News''. In 1948, NBC produced their fist news show, the ''Camel Caravan Show'', which was anchored by NBC'S [[John Swayze| John Cameron Swayze]], this show gave commentary, interviews, and live coverage that newsreels did not offer. In 1956, NBC producer Reuven Frank put together an anchor team to cover the [[Democratic]] and [[Republican]] Presidential conventions. Impressed by their past work together in newsreels, Frank asked reporters [[David Brinkley]] and [[Chet Huntley]] to co-anchor NBC’s convention coverage. A few months later NBC created ''The Huntley-Brinkley Report'', a 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 day's 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 NBC evening news program was expanded from fifteen to thirty minutes. Although extended duration moved the program closer NBC Nightly News's current format, the presentation still differed.
