A NEW WORLD
Beginning Aug. 15, the title of ABC News' evening news broadcast will be minus the name of recently deceased anchor Peter Jennings. "After consulting with [Peter's wife] Kayce and the family, we concluded that leaving the broadcast's title as it was through last Friday was an appropriate tribute to Peter. But, of all people, Peter insisted on accuracy," says ABC News president David Westin. "As much as we would have it otherwise, from now on World News Tonight with Peter Jennings will be known simply as World News Tonight."
