FROST/NIXON: The Original Watergate Interviews

Sir David Frost’s legendary 1977 interview with President Nixon is a landmark in television history — never before, and never again, would Nixon confront the issue of Watergate so directly, revealingly, and emotionally.

THIRTEEN and WLIW21 are proud to bring this historic media event back to public television for the 35th anniversary of former Nixon’s resignation in August 1974. And we have a special treat for you: all-new footage of David Frost, discussing the impact of his classic interview and sharing, for the first time ever, his personal reactions to this famous moment.

Watch this preview, and use the tools above to share it with your friends.

    Is the August 10th, 10PM date a repeat or Part II?

    The August 10th broadcast is a repeat – not part II.

    Nixon engaged China with his visit and negotiated a ceasefire in Vietnam – but is it all overshadowed by Watergate? Viewers: What Do You Think?

    For non-New Yorkers, will the interviews be broadcast elsewhere or streamed on your web site?

    It’s on 13 tomorrow, but it’s on WLIW 21 tonight. So I can watch it tonight, but not on an HD channel. Obviously the old Frost/Nixon footage isn’t in HD anyway, but is there new HD footage of any sort that will make it worth my while to wait a day?
