Replacing a Legend in NYC
/For 50 years, Chuck Scarborough has anchored the news at WNBC in New York. That will end this week when Scarborough signs off on Thursday.
WNBC has already found Scarborough’s replacement and they didn’t have to go far.
David Ushery takes over for Scarborough when he signs off.
“David is the real thing. He is an excellent writer, a terrific reporter and an outstanding anchor who is at his best when news is breaking and there is no script. He is also committed to helping others and regularly spends time in our communities across the Tri-State. David is the perfect choice for our 6 p.m. newscast and will continue WNBC’s tradition of excellence,” said WNBC GM Eric Lerner.
“In a time when the media industry is evolving on a near-daily basis, our responsibility as local journalists will never change: to verify the facts, to ask the tough questions and to deliver the news in a clear, honest and transparent manner worthy of our viewers’ trust,” Ushery said.
