	Brokaw, Tom
		Brokaw's distinctively smooth style and boyish charm have made him a well-recognized star throughout the shifting stakes in television news in the 1980s and 1990s.
		Brokaw's opportunity to serve as anchor arose when, after being courted by ABC, NBC countered by teaming him with Roger Mudd, (apparently attempting to replicate the Chet Huntley-David Brinkley pairing) and the two went on the air as co-anchors in April l982.
		Brokaw has been one of the most well-recognized participants in the trend toward expanding the role of the news reader into a prominent position of creative control and celebrity.
