Although the operations of CBS News have received more attention from historians of broadcast journalism, NBC's operations often received higher ratings. From 1956 through 1970, NBC's Huntley-Brinkley Report anchored by the team of Chet Huntley and David Brinkley consistently exceeded the viewership levels attained by CBS News and its main anchor Walter Cronkite. The pair, together with fellow correspondents Frank McGee and Jay Barbree, distinguished itself in the coverage of American manned space missions in the Project Mercury, Project Gemini and Project Apollo programs, during an era when space missions rated continuous coverage. (An entire studio, Studio 8H, was configured for this coverage, complete with models and mockups of rockets and spacecraft, maps of the earth and moon to show orbital trackage, and stages on which animated figures created by puppeteer Bil Baird were used to depict movements of astronauts before on-board spacecraft television cameras were feasible. Studio 8H is now the home of the long-running NBC show Saturday Night Live.)

NBC's "Nightly News" on Tuesday profiled Minoo Mohraz, an HIV/AIDS specialist who directs a clinic at Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran, Iran. An estimated 70,000 people in Iran are living with HIV, the majority of whom contracted HIV through injection drug use, according to the "Nightly News." About 95% of patients at Mohraz's clinic are men, but an increasing number of women are accessing treatment, and more HIV cases are resulting from sexual activity, the "Nightly News" reports. Condoms are available in the country. Mohraz is working with researchers at the University of San Francisco on a program to identify patterns of high-risk sexual behavior. Commercial sex work, premarital sex and sex among men primarily remain "underground to avoid heavy punishment," the "Nightly News" reports.
