nynewsguy 66 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 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/100/#findComment-245633 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you can go ahead and flame me - but when the time comes - look back to this post. 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 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/100/#findComment-245636 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 325 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.
