On September 2, 2009, ABC News announced that Charlie Gibson will leave "ABC World News" at the end of December, and that Diane Sawyer will be the new anchor of the network's evening newscast starting in January 2010.

Sawyer and Gibson worked together for years as co-anchors of "Good Morning America," until Gibson left to anchor "ABC World News" in 2006.

Gibson was named the anchor of "ABC World News" in May 2006. He replaced the team of Elizabeth Vargas and Bob Woodruff, after Woodruff was seriously wounded in an IED attack in Iraq.

Woodruff and Vargas became the co-anchors of the newscast in December 2005 after the death of longtime anchor Peter Jennings.

February 28, 2009: Legendary radio announcer Paul Harvey died today at age 90. Jim Robinson, the president of ABC Radio Networks, issued this statement:

"Paul Harvey was one of the most gifted and beloved broadcasters in our nation’s history. As he delivered the news each day with his own unique style and commentary, his voice became a trusted friend in American households. His career in radio spanned more than seven decades, during which time countless millions of listeners were both informed and entertained by his “News & Comment” and “Rest of the Story” features. Even after the passing of his loving wife Angel in May 2008, Paul would not slip quietly into retirement as he continued to take the microphone and reach out to his audience. We will miss our dear friend tremendously and are grateful for the many years we were so fortunate to have known him. Our thoughts and prayers are now with his son Paul Jr. and the rest of the Harvey family."
