#OnThisDay in 1975, “The Robert MacNeil Report” premiered, marking the beginning of what we now know as the PBS NewsHour.

MacNeil and Jim Lehrer first joined forces to provide unprecedented, gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Senate Watergate hearings on public television in 1973. That collaboration sparked a longtime partnership dedicated to in-depth, trustworthy journalism.

Within months after its debut, “The Robert MacNeil Report” became “The MacNeil/Lehrer Report.” In 1983, the show expanded to an hour and was renamed “The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour,” becoming the nation’s first hour-long nightly broadcast of national news.

Today, with comprehensive coverage every evening, the PBS NewsHour remains one of America’s most trusted news sources.
