	ESPN Classic - Arledge brought modern innovations to TV sports
		Arledge, who became president of ABC Sports in 1968, supervised coverage of 10 Olympics from 1964 to 1988, including the memorable 1972 games in Munich disrupted by a terrorist attack in which a somber McKay delivered the news of the deaths of the Israeli athletes.
		Arledge's broadcast contributions to the NFL were recognized by the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001 when he was given the Pete Rozelle Radio and Television Award, named for the former commissioner.
		Arledge could be prickly and elusive -- he was notorious for rarely returning phone calls -- and his inattention to the grunt work of management was a factor in his being gradually eased out of the news presidency.

		Roone Arledge was the moneychanger in the temple of television news.

	Obituary: Roone Arledge Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		Arledge broke the unspoken rule (inconceivable now) that major league sports organisations, rather than the networks which televised their games, should dictate the choice of commentators.
		Arledge applied many of the techniques he brought to sport, bringing in new programmes, new technologies and new faces.
		Arledge turned ABC's news division into a $70m- a-year moneyspinner, but he also was responsible for Nightline, which has become the most cerebral and upmarket network news programme.

		Howard Cosell is the unholy offspring of Roone Pinckney Arledge Jr.
		All of Arledge's programs, in fact, served as a kind of mad-science laboratory in which he and his engineers helped to pioneer the use of handheld cameras and isolation cameras and underwater cameras and split screens and field microphones and graphics superimposed on action.
		Arledge refused, for instance, to give the NFL, Major League Baseball and Olympic organizing committees the right to approve his announcers, which was standard practice in TV contracts only 25 years ago.

		Roone Arledge had not only played the game of television news better than any of his peers, he had rewritten the rules.
		Arledge was a self-centered man who drove his people hard and, as a result, he had never been beloved within ABC News.
		Arledge's grasp of world events also impressed Burke, who recalled Arledge saying during the Persian Gulf War that "this is just a sideshow" and that "the greatest event since World War II will unfold in Russia and Eastern Europe." Months later, communism collapsed.
