Spivak recalls doubts before Meet the Press debut
AP recalls Lawrence E Spivak doubting a radio to TV shift for Meet the Press in 1947. The program began with James A Farley as guest and grew into a Washington based NBC institution with 1,215 episodes and over 1,500 guest figures. Spivak notes the show’s format, panelists, and its expansion on special occasions. He is now 72 and reflects on his tenure and the show’s evolution.
