In April, Jennings was diagnosed with lung cancer , and has not been on the air since. Jennings, 66 at the time, told colleagues about his illness in an e-mail that was made available to reporters. "There will be good days and bad, which means that some days I may be cranky and some days really cranky," he said in the e-mail. Anchor duties have rotated between several anchors, most notably Good Morning America co-anchor Charles Gibson.
Jennings was the face of ABC News whenever a big story broke reports News Day.
"Peter has been our colleague, our friend, and our leader in so many ways. None of us will be the same without him," Westin said.
