Bill Shadel

Bill Shadel (July 31 1908-January 29, 2005) was a news anchor for CBS Radio and ABC Television.

Edward R. Murrow recruited Shadel while he was working in Europe as a correspondent for the National Rifle Association. During World War II, Shadel covered the June 6, 1944, D-Day invasion for CBS Radio. During his years at CBS, Shadel worked alongside Murrow, Howard K. Smith, Walter Cronkite, and Eric Sevareid.

In 1954 Shadel became the first host of the Sunday-morning interview show "Face the Nation". He later became one of several anchors for ABC's Evening News after John Charles Daly stepped down in 1960, and also that year moderated the third presidential debate between Richard M. Nixon and John F. Kennedy.

Shadel would then stay with ABC and retire from their news division in 1975.
