NBC News
In 1980, after being turned down in favor of Dan Rather to succeed Cronkite as weeknight anchor of the CBS Evening News, Mudd chose to leave CBS News and accepted an offer to join NBC News. He co-anchored NBC Nightly News from April 1982 until September 1983, when Tom Brokaw took over as sole anchor. From 1984 to 1985, he was co-moderator of NBC's Meet the Press with Marvin Kalb, and later served as co-anchor with Connie Chung on two NBC news magazines, American Almanac and 1986.

Famous quotes containing the words nbc and/or news:
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“The news we hear, for the most part, is not news to our genius. It is the stalest repetition.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
