Former NBC president Julian Goodman, 90, who helped establish Chet Huntley and David Brinkley as a news team and led the network from 1966 to 1974, died Monday.
He died of kidney failure in Juno Beach, Fla., where he lived after retiring as chairman of NBC's board in 1979.
The native of Glasgow, Ky., joined the network at the night news desk in Washington in 1945. He rose to become executive vice president of NBC News at the time Huntley and Brinkley were competitors to Walter Cronkite on CBS.
