Thanks to Romenesko for pointing out what’s going to happen on this Friday night’s “Nightline” on ABC. According to the folks at TV Barn, Ted Koppel will read names of the men and women who have given their lives in the war in Iraq. Koppel does note, however, that he is “not going to include those killed in non-hostile incidents. There’s no disrespect meant here, we just don’t have enough time in this one broadcast. But they are no less deserving of our thoughts.”
I expect pretty good ratings for this show - that is, if it gets promoted properly. I think this is a fantastic idea for a tribute and one that I will make every attempt to watch myself - or at least record it with my TiVo.
