Yes, Jennings died in 2005 at age 67 after having lung cancer.
Some say, since then, ABC hasn’t been the same.

I would suggest that news hasn’t been the same since Frank Reynolds died (1983). During the Reagan assassination episode, this was the guy looking only for facts....no speculation, no wild scenarios, just facts.
