A Note From Ted Koppel

March 31, 2005

Over the past 25 years, my “Nightline” colleagues and I have produced somewhere between 6,000-7,000 broadcasts. Many of them have been forgettable (if you’re in a charitable frame of mind), some have been good, and a few have been very good indeed. I will always remember, with enormous pride, the programs we’ve done on prisons, as part of our “Crime and Punishment” series; our focus on race relations — “America in Black and White”; and our early attention to the devastating impact of AIDS in America and in Africa.
