In the TV show, it is stated that Huntley and Brinkley came along as competition to Walter Cronkite in 1960. This may make for a good story, but it’s not true. Huntley and Brinkley had been anchoring the NBC evening news since they replaced John Cameron Swayze in fall 1956.

I have searched the web to find out about Mr. Cronkite’s program, ‘You are There.’ I did find one from a woman who watched the episodes in her history class in the ’60’s. I watched eagerly with my children and wonder if some of the episodes can be shown on PBS.
