Did you know (TV edition)?

The longest running show on TV is "Meet the Press (NBC News)," which started November 6, 1947.

A lot of people remember that from when Tim Russert died. He hadn't ben on the show for the whole time, but it seemed like he was there for most of it.

The next two oldest shows still on probably would be harder to guess.
There are only two other shows with 60 plus years on TV. They are:
* "CBS Evening News (CBS News)," which started August 14, 1948; and
* "Music and the Spoken Word," a syndicated show that started in October 1949.

Has anyone ever watched "Music and the Spoken Word?"
