nynewsguy 57 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 There’s already a chain of succession that has been established. Novarro replaces Ritter Torres replaces Novarro Marza replaces Torres Josh doesn’t want an anchoring job - which is why he, along with the likes of Jim Dolan (the lead reporters) have never filled in on the desk. Now you can go ahead and flame me - but when the time comes - look back to this post. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have figured Torres was the designated secondary for Ritter - forgot about Novarro but he doesn't seem to have the gravitas of Ritter or Torres What's surprised me is Jim Gardner and Ritter are about the same age - would have thought Gardner was about 10 years beyond Bill age wise - they both have a while to run Edited May 26, 2020 by sfomspphl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he gets well quick. That's awful. Robb is probably one of the few anchors I wish had never left WABC in the first place. He always is cheerful on Twitter working for WHP. I hope he recovers.

Vlad 221 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Wow, thats awful. I hope he gets better soon! I remember that was the very newscast that groomed me into my interest into WABC and the news in general. Especially after school during my childhood. My thoughts and prayers are with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
