  <about><![CDATA[Peter Charles Archibald Ewart Jennings, CM was a Canadian-American journalist and news anchor. He was the sole anchor of &lt;i&gt;ABC's World News Tonight&lt;/i&gt; from 1983 until his death in 2005 of complications from lung cancer. A high-school dropout, he transformed himself into one of television's most prominent journalists.

Jennings started his career early, hosting a Canadian radio show at the age of nine. In 1965, &lt;i&gt;ABC News&lt;/i&gt; tapped him to anchor its flagship evening news program. His inexperience marred his first short stint in the anchor chair, and Jennings became a foreign correspondent in 1968, honing his reporting skills in the Middle East.

He returned as one of &lt;i&gt;World News Tonight&lt;/i&gt;'s three anchors in 1978, and was promoted to the role of sole anchor in 1983. Jennings formed part of the &quot;Big Three&quot; news anchors who dominated American evening news in the 1980s and 1990s. Having always been fascinated with the United States, Jennings became a dual citizen of Canada and the United States in 2003. His death, which closely followed the retirements of Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather, marked the end of the &quot;Big Three&quot; era.
