	The Graphic - 'Don' Of A New Era
		While Ohlmeyer’s willingness to take risks may have factored in the success of NBC’s new programming, Ohlmeyer also cited reviews of the Neilsen ratings, a “finger on the pulse of pop culture,” and personal instincts as those tools that ultimately led to the resurgence of the network.
		Ohlmeyer knows it was his work ethic that set him apart and allowed him to seemingly glide up the corporate ladder.
		Ohlmeyer moved to NBC sports in 1977, and in 1982, he left the television business to start a full-service advertising agency with another company – Nabisco – and Nabisco’s current chairman Ross Johnson.

	Monday Night Football's Hail Mary
		Tagliabue knew Ohlmeyer as the man who had taken NBC's entertainment division from dead last to the top of the TV universe, and he hoped that the Limbaugh reports were either a joke or a marketing ploy.
		Ohlmeyer's advantage is that he has the N.F.L., notoriously conservative and fiercely protective of its game but also far and away the pre-eminent brand in sports, and as tough and ruthless a competitor as Microsoft.

		New "MNF" executive producer Don Ohlmeyer - who also is an old "MNF" executive producer, having overseen the show during part of its heyday period in the '70s - wanted to restore some of the glamour to a show that had been tarnishing in recent years.
		While Ohlmeyer says "it's more economical to rent a limo to chauffeur people around that it is to rent five or six cars for everybody to be on their own," there's something different about seeing the announcers pull up in a limo than watching them step out of a rental car.
		"Don is very much a hands-on guy in his approach," said ABC Sports vice president of media relations Mark Mandel, who has seen a lot in his 12 years as a publicist for the show.
