History
Throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, ABC News wasn't a major news player compared to CBS News and NBC News. It wasn't until Roone Arledge became the President of ABC News that ABC News finally became a major news player. Arledge would create many of ABC News's most famous programs, including 20/20, World News Tonight, This Week, Nightline, and Primetime Live.
