3 excellent, anchors of the best era of news broadcast. True professionals, with healthy competition, at the same time good friends. That is the sign of good human beings. Those were the days of true quality reporting. I respect all 3, I miss Peter Jennings, have watched from day I came from India in 1984. RIP Peter Jennings. Long live Mr Tom, and Mr Dan, God bless you both. 🤲

I think his death is the reason why they left

They were the Big 3 when I was a kid in the 80s.

I grew up with these three the anchors of their respective networks' news programs, all of which came on at or close to the same time during the evening, 5:30 p.m. local time in most markets, 6:30 eastern time in most markets.

Peter Jennings' voice will forever be associated for me with the smell of Triscuits and a single Coors Lite, Dad's go-to after-work snack. 5:30, he'd walk in the door, say hi, and then collapse on the couch for 30 minutes and watch "the news" (ABC) before rejoining the family as a human being again. (Still meant we could stop mom's mad dash forced labor cleaning campaign as soon as he walked in the door, and instead curl up next to him and listen to what was going on in the world. Between Peter's voice and Dad's presence, there's nowhere I've ever felt safer.

Probably three of my top 5 news anchors...... 1. Tom Brokaw 2. Dan Rather 3. Peter Jennings 4. Lester Holt 5. Walter Cronkite (This might show my age)

I get the impression that Brokaw and Rather would have dropped everything to pay their respects to Peter Jennings

Tom, Dan & Peter had a very close brotherhood.

R.I.P. Peter Jennings And May you’re Legacy as The Anchor ABC World News Never Be Forgotten during my Generation and Every Key Moment Of History That was made for you to Report on !!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺🎤🎤🎤🎤

I grew up watching three anchors.

The tag at the end had numerous shots of Peter Jennings at work. How surreal!

Social Media and the Internet have hurt today's journalism

I'd love to see Dan and Tom's tribute to Peter at the Emmy Awards from the following month. Can't find it anywhere on YT.

I remember watching him and the infomercials

And he got the heave-ho from CBS for putting out an obvious fake news story.
