About tonight's broadcast
Brian,
First and foremost congratulations on your anniversary. As one of your faithful viewers it
was nice to watch the Nightly News without all
the commercials. In my 88 plus years, it seems
today as though there is too much time spent on
time wasted. Keep up the good work!!

Excellent move! Combined with this blog will do a lot to make the "the Evening News" more relevant to people when they look up from their main screens - their computers.

Brian,
Kudos to you and NBC for experimenting with a new format (whatever that may be.) I understand the need for commercials unlike many who complain about the time spent reporting v. the time spent advertising.
No matter what the outcome, good luck, and you should be proud of tipping your toe into the water of change.
