concise, factual and not sensationalized." The columnist also observed that Jamieson looked "like David Brinkley's younger brother and sounds like Harry Reasoner." Jamieson moved to WMAQ-TV, the NBC owned-and-operated station in Chicago, in late 1971. He was a reporter at WMAQ-TV, but sometimes was a weekend newscast anchor. He also contributed stories to NBC News from Chicago. His first report for NBC Nightly News aired on November 5, 1971. It concerned unemployment of blacks in the Chicago area. His second "Nightly News" report, which aired on December 30, 1971, examined how changes in the military draft law affected his hometown of Peoria, Illinois. He eventually became a full-time general assignment reporter for NBC News, based in Chicago. Jamieson contributed sixteen stories to NBC Nightly News in 1972 and thirty-eight stories in 1973. Topics included Midwestern floods, grain and meat prices, the aviation industry and a feature about singing telegrams. On the April 19, 1977 edition of NBC News "Today," Jamieson returned to his hometown of Peoria, Illinois to note changes since he left.
