  • Great clip. Thanks for posting. This aired on Sunday, February 3, 1980.

  • There were actually two announcers heard at the start of this update - Bill Hanrahan and Fred Facey, the latter of whom was heard over the former.

  • @btm85bubs IIRC, they lost $80 million (1980) dollars on the rights and another $80 million in advertising revenue

  • I'm amazed they didn't take a stab at the Republicans seeing as how this is NBC. But this is when there was at least a modicum of fairness, even on the alphabet channels.

  • 0:26 Ooops

  • RIP Jessica Savitch

  • 1980 was a great year to be a Political and Current Affairs junky 

  • gee, those were the days... when the big 3 networks and the newspapers all had the same exact news, and controlled everyone's minds with no resistance at all.

    And thats the way it is.

  • 1980 was a fascinating year when it came to sports, news, politics & current affairs but a rough year for America Economically & with the Iranian Hostage Crisis.

  • don't hold your breath...

  • R.I.P. Jessica Savitch

  • I still remember that announcers voice.
