Longtime news anchor who a lot of us grew up with dies at 82. https://nypost.com/2026/03/12/us-news/ernie-anastos-legendary-nyc-news-anchor-dead-at-82/
It's been a LONG time since I lived in NY, but I remembered that name. Then I clicked that link, and yeah.... RIP
He was by all accounts a terrific guy - very upbeat and positive about things. He was a constant presence on NYC TV news for decades. RIP. In a completely meaningless coincidence, he passed away at the same hospital at which my granddaughter was born last week.
