Remembering Peter: Reminding Us Of “What He Had Helped Us Do For So Long”

By Brian 

Peter Jennings‘s name has been “on the wrists, desks and bulletin boards of members of the World News Tonight staff since World News executive producer Jon Banner handed out approximately 100 royal blue bracelets that ask, in the font of cancer survivor Lance Armstrong’s yellow LIVESTRONG bracelets: ‘What would Peter do?,'” TV Week notes. Banner also gave each staffer a DVD of ABC’s two-hour tribute.

“I realized we were all saying it in the days after he died,” Banner said. “…I wanted to do something that would remind us all of what he had helped us do for so long.”
