ABC News

===Roone Arledge===
By the 1970s, the network had effectively turned around, with its prime-time entertainment programs achieving more substantial ratings and drawing in higher advertising revenue and profits for ABC overall. With the appointment of the president of [[ESPN on ABC|ABC Sports]], [[Roone Arledge]] as president of ABC News in 1977, ABC invested the resources to make it a significant source of news content. Arledge, known for experimenting with the broadcast "model", created many of ABC News' most popular and enduring programs, including ''[[20/20 (American TV program)|20/20]]'', ''[[ABC World News Tonight|World News Tonight]]'', ''This Week'', ''[[Nightline]]'', and ''[[Primetime (American TV program)|Primetime Live]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/classic/obit/NEWarledgeobit.html|title=Arledge brought modern innovations to TV sports|access-date=December 30, 2016}}</ref> ABC News' longtime slogan, "More Americans get their news from ABC News than from any other source." (introduced in the late 1980s), was a claim referring to the number of people who watch, listen to and read ABC News content on television, radio and (eventually) the Internet, and not necessarily to the telecasts alone.<ref>{{cite press release|title=ABC News, Disney Online and ESPN.com Providing Extensive Line-Up of Podcast Content via the New iTunes Podcast Directory |url=http://corporate.disney.go.com/wdig/press_releases/2005/2005_0628_disney.html |publisher=The Walt Disney Company |date=June 28, 2005 |access-date=December 20, 2009 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090621053357/http://corporate.disney.go.com/wdig/press_releases/2005/2005_0628_disney.html |archive-date=June 21, 2009 }}</ref>
