Robert MacNeil, urbane anchor who founded ‘PBS NewsHour,’ dies at 93
Quick Glance: Robert MacNeil, Co-Founder of 'PBS NewsHour,' Passes Away at 93
  • Robert MacNeil, a Canadian broadcast journalist who established what is now 'PBS NewsHour' and served as its urbane, impartial co-anchor for two decades, died at the age of 93.

  • Teaming up with Jim Lehrer in 1975, they formed one of television journalism's most successful and enduring partnerships, launching what later became 'PBS NewsHour.'

  • They opted to provide a sophisticated supplement to network nightly news, focusing on a single issue each night with interviews from experts.

  • Despite facing criticism for being dull and elitist, the program garnered a loyal audience and expanded to become the country's first national, hour-long nightly news broadcast in 1983.
