WFUV Awards Lifetime Achievement to Longtime NBC Nightly News Anchor Tom Brokaw

Last night, Tom Brokaw, now 71 and a special correspondent for NBC News, was on the phone reliving some of the past 10 years since 9/11 as part of the network’s coverage announcing the death of Al-Qaeda mastermind Osama Bin Laden.

It was just the latest in a long list of major events that Brokaw has covered in his stellar career.

Brokaw, who gave up his coveted Nightly News anchor chair six and a half years ago, is getting a special honor tonight.

He is receiving the Charles Osgood Lifetime Achievement Award in Broadcast Journalism from WFUV.
