- Series Description
- "The Nightly Business Report is a network-style half-hour news program that gives the major business and economic news of the day, plus one or more of a variety of special segments: Focus (in-depth stories), On the Record (four-to-five-minute interviews with major economic figures), and The Business of America (lighter, slice-of-business-life stories). By intent, it is rare for all these segments to occur in any single program. Each program does, however, contain 90 seconds of material (preceded and followed by five-second bumpers) that each individual local station may drop at its discretion and replace with local business information. Each program also contains a commentary by a nationally known economist (Monday: Alan Greenspan; Tuesday: Arthur Laffer; Wednesday: Adam Smith; Thursday: Dan Lundberg or William Wolman; Friday: Charles Schultze or Alfred Kahn). The program of November 18, 1981 shows our method of handling a day in which day-of-air stories broke in both New York and Washington; it also shows examples of two special segments: 'Focus' and 'The Business of America.'"--1981 Peabody Awards entry form.
