It is 1982. Going off of Roger Mudd's top story, of Iran entering Iraq, this was from 13 July 1982.

I agree, NBC was underrated in the 70's and 80's, ABC was also good. CBS was overrated in my opinion, even though I like Cronkite

In This Clip, From 0:04 To 0:08, It Was WBZ-TV's Today's 4 Video ID From Late 1981.

NBC News gave the news better than anyother broadcast outlet at that time, because the year before I defected from CBS when Rather replaced Cronkite, but the team of Brokaw and Mudd, just did not jell, yet Roger and Tom got along well, and their friendship goes back to when Mudd worked the Senate beat for CBS and Brokaw was Whte House correspondent during Nixon's second term and Watergate and Ford's presidency.

@josefmrouse No, it's how they used to do it....it was dramatic....like he's reading up on all the news until the last second. Then WHAM! He's ready to jump into action to tell you all about it!

That's the NBC Radio News sounder... Used to hear that on the radio at the top of the hour when I was a kid. NBC Radio News doesn't exist anymore.. I liked that sounder.

Love how Brokaw appears to be caught by surprise

If the show started with "An Iranian Army" I wonder how the show will end?
