According to Wikipedia, Jennings anchored in 65-66 (I did not know that), then was replaced in 67 by Bob Young ( ) who I do not remember at all.

...part of one of Bob Young's bulletins about the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. can be seen at http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=1804170 -- interesting that the title that ABC News uses for the web series this video is a part of is Time Tunnel, as the Irwin Allen science fiction series of that same title on ABC in 1966-67 was itself set in 1968...

Looks as if Password started syndicated repeats only three days after being canceled by CBS.

I thought I once read that before ABC (finally) expanded their evening newscast to an hour that around 1966, KABC-7 broadcast a half-four newscast from 5 to 5:30 P.M. PT, ran the network news at 5:30, and another fifteen minutes of local news at 5:45.

And then ran what by then was The 6 O'Clock Movie up to the start of the network prime-time schedule at 7:30.
