Chet Huntley is most famous for his role as co-anchor of the critically acclaimed and highly rated The Huntley-Brinkley Report. This evening newscast, which first appeared in October 1956 on NBC, ushered in the modern era for television evening news. The Huntley-Brinkley Report introduced an innovative broadcast style, cutting between Huntley in New York and David Brinkley in Washington, DC. The energy, pace, and style of the program was clearly a step beyond the more conventional work of "news readers" who had preceded the new format.

From May 12, 1969, Chet Huntley is interviewed by Joe B. Frantz for the Lyndon Johnson Presidential Library's oral history collection. Huntley shares his impressions of LBJ as a U.S. Senator, as the nominee for Vice President at the 1960 Democratic National Convention, and later as President of the United States.
