Roone Arledge Quotes

I don’t expect to win every battle but I think Fred Pierce has enough respect for me that I can go fight my battles and win my share Picture Quote #1
But unlike the setup in most organizations, where there’s an administrator on top and creative people or doers underneath, I’m basically a doer and I like to have administrative people underneath me Picture Quote #1
The current wisdom now is that if the three networks are covering the news the same way the difference is the anchor people. I think that won’t be true in the future Picture Quote #1
Every person working in sports journalism today owes a tremendous debt to Howard Cosell. His greatest contribution was elevating sports reporting out of daily play-by-play and placing it in the larger context of society Picture Quote #1

You can only make so much money in life and only enjoy so many creature comforts. The important thing is to do something meaningful-to leave something behind Picture Quote #1
One of the reasons why when Elvis dies or the Son of Sam is captured ABC News’ ratings go up is because people who don’t normally watch news are watching then. The question is, do you want to attract people who don’t watch network news or fight over the people who do? Picture Quote #1
But if you cover the World Series on the news or do a feature on an Ali boxing match then all of a sudden ears go up all over the place and people say what the hell are you doing. The reason for that is that we’re doing something that people are really interested in Picture Quote #1
Most of what we report from Congress they don’t care about unless it affects them directly Picture Quote #1
In the past ABC has made half - hearted efforts or, worse, cosmetic efforts, to do something about news and I wasn’t certain about what their real aim was - nor am I now Picture Quote #1
I want everybody in the news business to think of ABC before they go any place else. If it costs us an extra few thousand dollars to do that, what does it mean? Picture Quote #1

I don’t think the news department will have to lie down and play dead like it has in the past. By and large the network has been understanding, but then so have I Picture Quote #1
I don’t expect to win every battle but I think Fred Pierce has enough respect for me that I can go fight my battles and win my share Picture Quote #1
But unlike the setup in most organizations, where there’s an administrator on top and creative people or doers underneath, I’m basically a doer and I like to have administrative people underneath me Picture Quote #1
If you don’t have the rights, you can’t do the show Picture Quote #1
People essentially like local news better than network news Picture Quote #1
I’m sensitive about my image of being hard to reach Picture Quote #1

I respect the game that goes on of putting this against that, but I don’t respect, nor do I enjoy, an awful lot of the actual programs that go on the air Picture Quote #1
Television is a powerful medium that has to be used for something better than sitcoms and police shows. On the other hand, if you don’t recognize the forces that play on what people watch and what they don’t then you’re a fool and you should be in a different business Picture Quote #1
I don’t think any industry was ever as closely scrutinized and written about and constantly in the public eye as television Picture Quote #1
People also don’t care about the daily comings and goings of diplomats and yet we must report it Picture Quote #1
I think we have erred on the side of being too conservative so far, to tell you the truth Picture Quote #1
The current wisdom now is that if the three networks are covering the news the same way the difference is the anchor people. I think that won’t be true in the future Picture Quote #1
