Koppel’s final ‘Nightline’ date
Ted Koppel will anchor his last edition of “Nightline” on Nov. 22, with the first post-Koppel edition of the ABC newscast airing Nov. 28, the network said Thursday.
Koppel, 65, has anchored the show since its official launch in March 1980. The show grew out of a series of special reports about the Iranian hostage crisis that began the previous November.
How the late-night news show will evolve following Koppel’s departure remains a mystery. ABC News has declined to talk about its plans until they are complete.
