History
During the 1960s and early 1970s, ABC News was behind it's major competitors, CBS News and NBC News. This changed in 1977, when Roone Arledge became the president of ABC News. Arledge added longer news programs, including 20/20, to the ABC lineup. He later added Primetime Live, World News Now and This Week with David Brinkley.http://www.college.columbia.edu/cct_archive/win99/18.html http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/A/htmlA/arledgeroon/arledgeroon.htm
