About this blog

The Daily Nightly began on May 31, 2005. As Brian wrote in his first post it aims to provide a narrative of the broadcast day and a window into the editorial process at NBC Nightly News. Brian weighs in every weekday and NBC News correspondents and producers post regularly.

Brian Williams became the seventh anchor and managing editor in the history of NBC Nightly News on December 2, 2004. Read his full biography.

Weekend warriors

There is an old adage in our business that the news never stops on the weekend. In the past year alone, we've gone from the tsunami, to the Iraqi elections, and to the first winds of Hurricane Katrina all happening on our watch. Nightly News is a seven-night-a-week broadcast (except for those occasional days when we are pre-empted by sports in some time zones), but we know everyone's lives are different on the weekends, and you may not be quite as plugged into the Web, cable and all-news radio during the day as you are during the week. So our staff here in New York, and our NBC News colleagues around the world, work hard to bring you as comprehensive a report of the day's news as we can, as well as those stories that take you someplace you haven't been, or tell you something you may not know. Our broadcast may be the one time of the day you have the time to check-in on the world over the weekend, and we want to make it worthwhile.
