" Roone Pinckney Arledge was born July 8, 1931, and raised on Long Island Marc Gunther, author of a book called "The House That Roone Built," said that before Arledge, sports was covered by TV in a "very dull, routine, respectful way I was fortunate to be among those he smiled on occasionally For a decade, he was president of the sports and news divisions at ABC time slot from ABC's affiliates for young correspondent Koppel to deliver nightly updates "People in news were outraged that I hadn't been a reporter or worked my way up Arledge is widely viewed as one of the most influential figures in the history of television Through the 1960s, he introduced innovations taken for granted today: replays, hand-held cameras and the placement of microphones to bring the sound of sports into living rooms And Roone would say, it's not about the game, it's not about the news event, it's about the television show," Gunther said You wanted to march off a cliff for Roone Arledge if he asked you to," said Donaldson When David Westin took over in 1998, ABC News had slipped to No He never gave it back, and the updates evolved into "Nightline," which is still on the air Arguably, all three network evening newscasters owed their positions to him: He installed Jennings on ABC's "World News Tonight," while CBS' Dan Rather and NBC's Tom Brokaw earned their slots at least partly because Arledge launched bidding wars for their services The Columbia University graduate joined ABC Sports as a producer in 1960 after a five-year stint at NBC " Jennings called Arledge "the complete television character â€â€? producer, editor, director and reporter, when he needed to be The newspaper articles were brutal," he later recalled Appealing to his bosses to bring showbiz to sports, the 29-year-old was given control of ABC's NCAA football broadcasts The 36-time Emmy winner was cited as one of the 100 most important Americans of the 20th century by Life magazine in 1990 " He was a mentor to several prominent ABC broadcasters, including Ted Koppel, Peter Jennings and Sam Donaldson "He was a leader An ABC spokesman said a memorial service was being planned "He alone moved American sports from daytime to primetime, from small time to big time Pioneering ABC TV Executive Arledge Dies Dec 6, 3:21 AM EST NEW YORK (AP) â€â€? Roone Arledge, the groundbreaking ABC television executive whose legacy includes everything from "Monday Night Football" and "Nightline" to the slow-motion instant replay, has died at the age of 71 In 1961, he created "ABC's Wide World of Sports," one of the most popular sports series ever, and coined its tag line â€â€? "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat m "And if you produced for him, nothing was too good for you When terrorists seized Americans hostages in Iran in 1979, Arledge seized an 11:30 p He lured David Brinkley to ABC and installed him on "This Week," reviving the Sunday political talk genre " Arledge, who became president of ABC Sports in 1968, supervised coverage of 10 Olympic Games from 1964 to 1988, including the 1972 games in Munich that were disrupted by a terrorist attack "The leagues would say the telecast must never be bigger than the game itself " He was single-handedly credited with bringing modern production techniques to sports coverage, then building ABC News into a power during the 1980s But the reaction was harsh when Arledge was selected in 1977 to resuscitate ABC's struggling news division â€â€? while still running sports Arledge is survived by his wife, Gigi Shaw Arledge, and four children from a previous marriage Without Roone it would be difficult to imagine how my career or that of Ted Koppel, Barbara Walters or David Brinkley would have turned out The red-haired, ruddy-faced Arledge could be prickly and elusive â€â€? he was notorious for rarely returning phone calls â€â€? and his inattention to the grunt work of management was a factor in his being gradually eased out of the news presidency Koppel was broadcasting from Baghdad on Thursday night, and "Nightline" focused on the man Koppel called "my friend and my mentor He expanded Olympic broadcasts beyond the competition by including personal profiles of athletes, a style echoed today He helped usher in the era of primetime sports by launching "Monday Night Football," and also is responsible for the long-running ABC news programs "Nightline" and "20/20 When Sports Illustrated in 1994 selected 40 individuals with the greatest impact on sports over the previous 40 years, Arledge was third behind Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan " "Roone Arledge was a man who relished sending us off to far-flung places and changing programs at the last moment," Koppel said "Monday Night Football," still a staple on ABC's primetime schedule, was brought to the air by Arledge in 1970 "Roone Arledge invented television sports and then reinvented television news," said one of his proteges, Dick Ebersol, who now heads NBC Sports Arledge died Thursday at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York of complications from cancer, according to ABC News 2 and was faced with tough budget decisions "Well, here I am in Baghdad, and we've been up all night, changing the broadcast After disastrous starts, ABC created the newsmagazines "20/20" and "Prime Time Live" under his watch " Arledge wooed correspondents like Diane Sawyer to ABC and was largely credited â€â€? or blamed â€â€? for making newscasters rich stars on a par with Hollywood royalty Arledge was the first to demand that networks, not sports leagues, approve announcers â€â€? a philosophy that led to his hire of Howard Cosell, the abrasive New Yorker who was probably the most famous sportscaster ever Meanwhile, its stock has fallen more than 50 percent from where it traded before Stewart's name was tied to the ImClone insider trading scandal two years ago "Martha the person is doing what she needs to do and that is looking out for herself, but it is not consistent with looking out for the brand," said Seth Siegel, co-founder of The Beanstalk Group, a trademark licensing agency Sales of Martha Stewart merchandise, sold at Kmart Holding Corp She has already twice asked the trial judge to throw out her conviction and was turned down " But with 61 percent ownership of the company's stock, Stewart will probably retain an influential role Since then, the index has only inched up to 70 UPDATES 18th graf bgng with Following the Shares closed at $11 "They have to find a way to distance themselves from her," said Paul Argenti, a professor at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business According to Brand Keys' consumer loyalty index, the brand has dropped from a high of 122 before Stewart's legal problems began two years ago, to the low 60s after her conviction A level below 80 means the label is in distress, Passikoff said "I will be back Since her March 5 conviction on charges that she lied to investigators about why she sold shares of ImClone Systems Inc Inc The most similar case is that of shoe company Steve Madden Ltd There are many examples of companies that either collapsed or thrived in such situations She hasn't been contrite, and instead has been a regular fixture on the social circuit " The founder and former chairman and CEO of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc Stewart's Fight at Odds With Brand Jul 16, 3:56 PM EST Martha Stewart the person wants exoneration Not to mention that an increasing number of personalities like Chris Madden, who's now selling a line of home furnishing at J In a statement following the sentencing, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia called the sentencing "an important step toward closure" for the company and said, "we continue to manage the company for the long-term, with a commitment to preserving our many assets and brand labels to UPDATE stock price Since her conviction, Stewart has continued to receive with her annual salary of $900,000 and annual guaranteed bonus of $300,000, which remains in effect until October Whatever I have to do in the next few months, I hope the months go by quickly," Stewart said afterward Martha Stewart the company needs it all to just end Following the sentencing, the stock rose as much as 40 percent, to a high of $12 Even if Stewart wins an appeal or ultimately clears her name, analysts say the damage has already been done to the brand that was built on her reputation as a perfect homemaker and stamped on a wide array of products from magazines to pots and pans Penney Co Meanwhile, it is expanding its Everyday Food magazine It's a cloud not just of scandal but of uncertainty â€â€? and uncertainty hurts any business The company is reworking its television lineup, accelerating development of special and new programming such as "Everyday Food" that don't bear the Stewart name Some believe the company should divorce itself completely of Stewart in 2001, Stewart has clearly showed she's not going to prison without a fight The best scenario for the brand would be for Stewart to complete her prison term immediately, he said The office of her attorney Robert Morvillo directed calls to publicist George Sard, who did not return a call from The Associated Press With the dame of domesticity planning to fight her criminal conviction in a stock sale case, she effectively threatens to perpetuate the cloud that has hung over her business empire for two years The company continues to report solid sales , whose founder and namesake went to prison in 2002 to serve a 41-month sentence for stock fraud and money laundering " Beanstalk's Siegel noted that while the lighter-than-expecte d sentence "removes the worst of the stigma from Martha, it is by no means closure" because Stewart intends to exhaust her appeal com (SUBS 10th graf bgng with The office and other stores, have held up, but the company's television and publishing businesses have fared poorly , a New York market research company, said even a successful appeal won't help the Martha Stewart brand "And as far as I can see, they seem to be incapable of doing that But unlike Madden, Stewart is the brand, and rebuilding the business will be a lot trickier Moved on advance wires as BC-Martha Stewart , and magazines like Real Simple have nibbled at Stewart's market share "Martha the brand needs closure, and Martha the person needs to fight â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?
