Koppel: Win Word for Integrity

摘要

Ted Koppel, who for 25 years has an-chored ABC's Nightline, is looking for a new job and a new network. The driving force behind one of television's most respected news programs surprised Nightline staffers last week by announcing that he and his longtime colleague, executive producer Tom Bettag, will leave the program and the ABC network at the end of November. "I plan to relinquish the reins of Nightline late next fall," Koppel later explained in his daily e-mail to Nightline junkies. "This is turning into a premature farewell. Tom and I have eight months left, and that works out to about 160 programs left to do." He added that he looks forward to participating in "most of those" shows.
