WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/06/23/nyregion/gabe-pressman-wnbc-dead.html?referer=https://www.google.com/ Sad he was an excellent reporter and will be missed by many. RIP. Over 60 years in local television (the bulk of it at WNBC) and having covered Mayors of the Big Apple dating to Bill O'Dwyer (1946-50 as NYC Mayor) and a 70+ year career dating to his newspaper days. What a great career and an outstanding legacy left behind. RIP Gabe Pressman.

24994J 5577 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Sue Simmons was just on Ch. 4 (first time in 5 years), to speak about Gabe Pressman. Wow. I know most rational people can put aside differences in sad times, but are the same bosses that dumped her still there?

cna247 174 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Enjoyed seeing Sue today. Kind of wished Chuck was there for a reunion. Any chance of her coming back in a special contributor/reporter role?

newscopter7 232 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I thought Sue's eulogy was interesting in that much more than a her being interviewed, it seemed like Sue wrote the story herself and presented it as if a current employee of WNBC.

TheRolyPoly 2415 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Even for just once and even with a changed hairstyle, I still can't think as to why they let Sue go. She's still got it and could've made another 5 years at least. Glad to see her on air again, even if just for this one time.

With 4 lagging behind 7 and 2, there is no way management could justify paying Sue's multi-million dollar/year salary.

Didn't community involvement and/or public appearances (and her seeming unwillingness to do them) allegedly play a role?

I do remember that her last days were not exactly sunshine and rainbows especially when Sue's gossip columnist friend started airing the dirty behind-the-scenes laundry. If you watch the clip, she blatantly says that it feels weird to be back. I'm not sure if that was Sue's way of throwing shade at management, or one of her off-the cuff comments, but MEOW.

TellyGenic 33 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Since Sue's departure, there have been at least three ladies in that chair. None of them could come close to her unique presence.
