NBC - 1989 NBC Nightly News Show End Credits and NBC News Theme - with Tom Brokaw

A Classic 1989 NBC Nightly News ending - with Tom Brokaw. And of course the theme by John Williams.

[@brettthomas7038]

On the cusp of a new decade, the familiar voice of a trusted anchor helped to inform our day, after dinner, before bed, after homework, and before adulthood took over with it's mundane worries, taxes, and fears.

Thank god it mentioned my NBC station in Detroit in the credits.

[@JCGtoonNetwork]

We have the same one

[@JohnAckerman93]

Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, and Dan Rather were the three best journalists in the news. Sad there's no one like them out there anymore

[@sillygoose635]

there are.

[@Msigw]

@@sillygoose635 LOL. Name one... or hell, name half of one. Please say Anderson Cooper so I can laugh even harder.

He ended the broadcast so casually I was so shocked

Watch ABC's David Muir today - and his 'stance' with his fingers touching the desk leads to instant anxiety...

[@smadaf]

@@musicom67 , David Muir is like the guy who wants to be the anchor of the local news in the middle of nowhere and isn't good enough to do that, so he's talking excitedly in front of his mirror at home. No. Wait. Sentences aren't allowed. It's participial phrases: David Muir every night like a failed local anchor, talking excitedly in front of a mirror, viewers meanwhile turning off TVs and walking away, the anchor driving American commercial network television to a totally new abyss, Peter Jennings meanwhile rolling over in his grave.

[@rtcp2020]

@@musicom67looks like David Muir doesn’t enjoy his job as presenter a lot.

[@ArnoldChengKiLim]

We can see some news credits use vertical scrolling from bottom to top, some are horizontal scrolling from right to left. I knew YLE in Finland and most TV news in Taiwan, credits mostly are using horizontal scrolling. What else news ending credits also use horizontal scrolling?

[@smadaf]

With interlaced scanning, vertical scrolling tends to be easier to read than horizontal, at least with the Roman/Latin alphabet.

@SG1Mitchell Electronic Television as we know it was 'invented' in 1927 by Philo T. Farnsworth

[@wiedep]

[@musicom67]

30-second credit roll or sell a 30-second ad space for $7,000 (or whatever amount)...?

[@NYC123ization]

Thats what I'm talkin about!!!!

charlie riggs the 3rd !!!!!

[@Sherpaful]

Tom Brokaw was handsome back then, way better looking then Dan Rather

[@JimRockford853]

How did you find this out?

[@Dudeonwheels]

So was the inventor of television still alive in 89 or did they just do a report on the inventor of television?

[@smadaf]

Television, especially, is an invention that doesn't have a single person who can be called "the inventor" of it.

[@wiedep]

had no choice but to join the union, not in it anymore. people like to get some public credit for their work but management there wants to marginalize talented people...

[@irish89055]

yes, more ads as the nightly news is almost 50% commercials with the second 15 minutes PR pieces mostly. With none under 45 watching the end roll is never more than a few bars and the long close extinct as sadly these shows will be. I say this as someone with probably the most nightly news watching time in the country, constantly switching during the ads betw CBS, NBC or ABC

[@musicom67]

You knew Chuckles the 3rd???

[@natsirt69]

Actually TV was invented in the '20s. It wasn't until the 40s until it gained recognition.

[@wiedep]

tha$ it...

[@salguzman802]

😄😁☺

[@SG1Mitchell]

@wheels85 Well TV was invented in late forty's so it's possible

[@MarkPentler]

Was he always that laid back? He sounds like he's stoned or something. Long pauses etc.

[@afridgetoofar1818]

Yes, he was always chill, unlike today’s spastic anchors.

[@BoyJohnC]

I agree, there are only money inside their brain.

[@BoyJohnC]

They don't show the names of those who work hard each evening to tell us truths now by the end of the broadcast!!!!!!!!

[@megamanj2004X]

Blame that on the need for more commercials and the push for more “fluff” news since the early 2000s.
