Apparently ABC affiliates have been told to prepare for his death at anytime.

Pavanbadal, have you heard anything about this???

Wow Brent, where did you hear that?

Mr. Television · 08-07-2005, 12:03 AM

Dear God I hope this isn't true.

Chatter on other forums...

But, TVNewser, the most respected cable news blog says simply

"Say an extra prayer for Peter Jennings tonight"

He's got sources...

I'm reading about it on other message boards too...but still unconfirmed. It's very sad. Lung cancer is one of the deadlier ones.

Prayers to Peter and his loved ones.

theshark8777 · 08-07-2005, 12:04 AM

So sad.

Brent88 · 08-07-2005, 12:06 AM

I'm not shocked honestly... well, I am, since he seemed so well just a few months ago. I never preferred him for news, but I've got this bad feeling sitting here right now.

When I found out how advanced the cancer already was, I knew he probably wouldn't make it.

TripperFan · 08-07-2005, 12:08 AM

Yeah, I guess I shouldn't be surprised as we really haven't heard many updates lately. You usually get some news if treatment is going well. Guess when he retired he knew already and wanted the time with his family.

Prayers for Peter.

He didn't... World News Tonight is still "with Peter Jennings" even though he hasn't anchored since the announcement.

I gotta go to bed since I have to get up early.

Has anyone been to the CTV message board? I'm on my way there now.

I guess I'll be switching between TVLand and CNN all night.
