It was just the latest in a long list of major events that Brokaw has covered in his stellar career.

Brokaw, who gave up his coveted Nightly News anchor chair six and a half years ago, is getting a special honor tonight.

He is receiving the Charles Osgood Lifetime Achievement Award in Broadcast Journalism from WFUV. Making the honor even more special, Brokaw will receive the hardware directly from Osgood, the veteran of CBS News, including Sunday Morning since 1994.
