Before 24-hour cable news channels, we had shows like "Nightline".
It started on this day in 1980, or in the early stages of the Iran hostage crisis. The show then moved into the 1980 campaign and stayed around for quite a few years.
It was a good show and Ted Koppell's face was everywhere.
P.S. You can listen to my show (Canto Talk). If you like our posts, drop a dime here.
