"From ABC Studio's in New York, this is NIGHTLINE"

I love "Nightline", its the only news show i watch PERIOD. At 11:30 Ted Koppel is beaming in to my living room not Leno or Letterman. Ted is like no other news anchor,he tells it like is. Every night at 11:30 i get all the news i need to know and great intervies.
