CHESTER "CHET" HUNTLEY
The Emmy-winning broadcaster signed this $15 check for cash
Check signed: "Chester R Huntley". 5¾x2½. Hollywood, California, 1949 July 18.
Unnumbered check drawn on the Bank of America, payable to cash for $15.00. Chester
“Chet” Huntley (1911-1974) teamed up on television with David Brinkley to host The
Huntley-Brinkley Report (1956-1970). The show began during the presidential nominating
conventions of 1956. It won eight Emmy Awards and made the pair just as recognizable as
stars such as John Wayne and The Beatles. Cutting between Huntley in New York and
Brinkley in Washington, the news program set new standards in television journalism. It was
initially just 15 minutes long, but it later expanded to 30 minutes. Huntley retired to his
native Montana in 1970. After he retired from broadcasting, he built the Big Sky Resort in
his home state of Montana. Bank stamps and cancellation holes, not at signature. Pencil note
(unknown hand) in upper left. Otherwise, fine condition.
