Sue Simmons, WNBC anchor woman, let go after 32 years
After more than three decades, NBC has let go the influential anchorwoman.
It must be youth over experience, because NBC Anchor woman Sue Simmons has been let go after being with the local television station for 32 years.
Sue Simmons let go
After more than three decades, NBC has let go the influential anchorwoman. The New Post states, Sue Simmons contract will end in June and WNBC does not plan to renew the contract. This will end the longest running anchor team that is Simmons and co-anchor Chuck Scarborough.
Simmons started her career in the 1980s, she won four Emmy’s and is the highest paid anchorwoman at any local station.
Simmons & Scarborough, who are both 68, contracts ended in June. However the station gave Chuck Scarborough three more years.
Sue Simmons has been the face of local news here in New York for literally as long as I can remember. A hard-charging, swear-dropping, before-broadcast-drinking, poker-playing, fun-loving broad, she has been exactly what this city needs as a news anchor. Plus, there’s that great urban legend about her mugging down with some gal at Shakespeare in the Park. For three decades now, Sue Simmons has been synonymous with the New York broadcast. I can’t even imagine what local news will look like without her.
