This recognition led to the 1975 creation of The Robert MacNeil Report….which was a half-hour local news program for WNET….when it debuted on October 20 of that year….where each episode of the program covered a single issue currently in the news in depth…..then less than 11⁄2 months later the program was renamed The MacNeil/Lehrer Report and began to air on PBS stations nationwide in 1975. Most editions employed a two-anchor, two-city format, with MacNeil based in New York City and Lehrer based at WETA’s studios in Arlington, Virginia. Charlayne Hunter-Gault joined the series in 1978 as correspondent….who served as a substitute host for MacNeil and Lehrer whenever either of them had the night off….as she became the series’ national correspondent in 1983.
