On Friday night, ABC News’ “Nightline” will devote the entire half-hour broadcast to reading the names and showing the photographs of the hundreds of American servicemen and women who have died in the Iraq war.
The Sinclair Broadcast Group announced Thursday that the ABC affiliates it owns will not be airing the program.
Entitled “The Fallen,” the special “Nightline” broadcast will feature Ted Koppel reading over the photographs supplied by the website MilitaryCity.com.
ABC News said it will simulcast the program, which it calls a “tribute,” live on its Jumbotron in New York City’s Times Square. ABC News Radio will also air excerpts of the program.
ABC News Washington spokesperson Emily Lenzner said in a press release:
“Nightline” will show a photograph of each serviceman and woman in succession with their name, military branch, rank, and age, while Koppel reads their names aloud. Since the broadcast is only 30 minutes long, Friday’s broadcast is limited to showing just those “killed in action” in Iraq, as certified by the U.S. Department of Defense.UPDATE: ABC has extended the “Nightline” broadcast to 40 minutes so that all of the 700-plus names of servicemen and women who died in Iraq can be read aloud.
In a press release, “Nightline” Executive Producer Leroy Sievers said:
Because of time constraints, we thought we only had time to read the names of those killed in what were considered “combat-related” situations. But the deaths of those in so-called “non-hostile” situations are no less worthy of honor, and ABC has now given us the additional time so that we can include all of those who have paid the ultimate price.The program was Siever’s idea. I interviewed him by e-mail about it.
Q: What do you hope viewers will feel, know, learn by watching this program?
Sievers: I hope that viewers will remember that behind the numbers of casualties, that each of the men and women who have been killed was an individual, with a name, a face, a family, and a life. It is too easy to not go beyond the numbers. Ted and I were embedded with the 3rd I.D. and we got to know many of the soldiers as individuals. It is too easy to see the helmet, the flak vest, and the uniform, and forget that these are all individuals.
Q: What political statement might this program be making in showing the photos of the men and women who have died? Isn’t this an even more powerful extension of the “caskets photos” controversy that the Pentagon is concerned will turn opinion against the war?
Sievers: There is no political statement intended. This broadcast is intended to honor those who have been killed, period. Ted addressed the casket issue last Friday on “Nightline.” I think that is a separate issue. At his recent press conference, President Bush talked about how important it is to honor the sacrifice that these men and women have made. That’s all we’re trying to do.
Q: What production techniques will you use, knowing that any use of music, slow dissolves, and the tone of Ted’s voice will all be key to how people interpret this work? Will the program be pre-produced or live?
Sievers: The program has to be pre-produced, there is no way to read more than 500 names live and match the pictures, we don’t want to make any mistakes. There will be no music. We will be showing two pictures at one time on the screen, and they will change one at a time. I don’t know how people will interpret this, I don’t know if people will watch the whole broadcast or just a few seconds. But I hope they take some time to reflect on the price that these men and women have paid in our names.
Q: What was Ted’s reaction to this idea when you raised it with him?
Sievers: This came out of a brainstorming session, Ted was all for it, as was the management of ABC News.
Q: What images and thoughts stick in your mind as you watch these faces?
Sievers: Some of these pictures are from the military, graduation days, proud days. Others are graduation pictures or prom pictures. Usually they are all happy moments. What strikes me is that none of the men and women in these pictures, at that moment, probably ever thought that their lives would be cut short. I am struck by the ages, from 18 to late 40’s. I have seen 14 wars. My other thoughts I will keep private.
Q: Now the question from the skeptical mind. Thursday is the beginning of the May Nielsen ratings book. The program airs on Friday. How do you answer people who wonder if this is a sweeps ploy?
Sievers: You may not believe this, but until you said this, I had no idea when sweeps start. At “Nightline,” as a daily news broadcast, we usually do not do any special projects for sweeps. Quite honestly, I don’t expect this broadcast to be a huge ratings hit, I think it will be difficult for people to watch. That’s not why we’re doing it. The timing issue was that we didn’t want to do it on Memorial Day, when most outlets do stories about the military. 
We didn’t want to wait, and this Friday was the first opportunity to do it.
Listed below are the servicemen and women who will be honored on Friday’s “Nightline.” The list is organized alphabetically by state and includes those whose names have been released by the Pentagon since March 19, 2003. Names released between now and Friday April 30, will be added to the broadcast.
