Friends, family say goodbye to beloved New York City news anchor Ernie Anastos abc7ny.com/post/ernie-ana…

@cowboylaw68 @RobGeorge @fwskiiii Well an honorary Oscar, not a competitive one.

@RobGeorge @fwskiiii He has an EGOT. How is he also not on there w Poitier?

@NextBestPicture I had 19/24.

20/24 How did you all do? #Oscars #Oscars2026

@NextBestPicture Lucky guy! Enjoy.

On my way to the #Oscars (running late as per usual)

@NextBestPicture Do you know when the In Memoriam is?

@Joannalangfield I’ll be checking during Oscars commercials.

@JerryBarmash Cough, cough

Sources inform me the Knicks are playing tonight at 8. The Academy Award broadcast starts at 7, ET. Which leads to the biggest question of the day. Who gets the big TV? (Join me here for some Oscar fun, no matter what size screen.)

I’ll be joining Jay Oliver on @linewsradio Monday morning (8:30) to discuss the legacy of legendary anchor Ernie Anastos.

@jonathanmb32 I think the “Sinners” surprise would be MBJ taking the Best Actor.

I think Sinners is winning Best Picture.

@OscarRaceWatch Isn’t it 98th Academy Awards?

It’s finally time. 97th Academy Awards prediction time. Months of precursors, wins and losses, endless discussion, panic, and more than 10k lines in our database tracking the entire season. Now it’s time to lock in the Oscar predictions

@MikeJanela I posed the “Mount Rushmore” idea in the introduction for my 2024 book “Here Now the News.”

If you grew up anywhere near New York City, the Mount Rushmore in some order is: Ernie Anastos Sue Simmons Chuck Scarborough Kaity Tong

@liznyny @DickYoungsGhost @Natalie4NY Legends on equal footing. I interviewed many of the anchor greats, and those who worked with them, for my 2024 book “Here Now the News.”

@Natalie4NY Ernie Anastos and Chuck Scarborough were in a league of their own. Their professionalism and warmth radiated through the camera. NYC legends. May Ernie rest in peace.

Journalism is important…the work we do…but for me, how we treat people, is what sticks. While I didn’t know Ernie Anastos well, I will never forget how he made me feel when I met him. It was 10 years ago…my first year on the job at WNBC in the Big Apple… instagram.com/p/DVzZ6ESCTiw/…

@NBCNewYork @Natalie4NY Actually, he started at WABC in 1978.

Longtime New York City news anchor Ernie Anastos, who delivered the news in the tri-state for decades starting in 1979, has died at the age of 82, according to a representative 4.nbcny.com/dHsOqj2

@nealkwatra @RobGeorge I was honored to interview several of the anchor greats for my book “Here Now the News.”

There was a cohort of local broadcast anchors in the NYC media market in the 80s and 90s that felt larger than life. Ernie Anastos (RIP), Sue Simmons, Chuck Scarborough, Warner Wolf, Len Berman, Kaity Tong, Roz Abrams, Diana Williams, Dana Tyler, John Roland, Bill Beutel….If you grew up watching local news in the 80s and 90s, these were giants. They were the Cronkite’s of our local broadcast TV world and there won’t ever be a crew like them that holds our attention and feel as intimate a part of our lives as they once did.
