According to ABC insiders, the broadcast will be “a halftime show for people who prefer headlines over halftime dances.” The program promises breaking news, emotional interviews, and “just enough suspense to make you forget the score.”
“While They Perform, We Inform.”
In a promo clip, Muir appears behind the iconic World News Tonight desk, saying:
