Koppel To Discovery Channel

It’s not HBO after all. Ted Koppel and crew will be joining the Silver Spring-based Discovery Channel as managing editor to make long-form documentaries. He’ll be joined, as expected, by longtime Executive Producer Tom Bettag and eight former Nightline staff members.

“Discovery has always represented the highest quality television in the world. With Ted Koppel and his team, Discovery is making a long-term commitment to produce high quality programming that gives our global audience insight, perspective and analysis beyond just the headlines,” said Discovery President Billy Campbell.
