[Gvac]

NEW YORK (AP) - Roone Arledge, a pioneering television executive at ABC News and Sports responsible for creating shows from "Monday Night Football" to "Nightline," died Thursday, an ABC News spokesman said. He was 71.

Through the 1960s, he introduced innovations taken for granted today: slow-motion and freeze- frame views, instant replays, hand-held cameras and the placement of microphones to bring the sound of sports into living rooms.
