David Ushery Named Evening Anchor at WNBC

After more than 50 years at the helm, Chuck Scarborough is retiring from WNBC-TV's 6 p.m. newscast, with his final broadcast slated for December 12. David Ushery, a seasoned journalist with over 20 years at NBC, has been named as Scarborough's successor. Ushery will continue to co-anchor the 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts alongside Natalie Pasquarella. Known for his exceptional reporting and community involvement, Ushery has received accolades such as the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award for his work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Both colleagues and leadership, including Eric Lerner and Amy Morris, have praised Ushery's capabilities and dedication. Ushery's transition reflects a continuation of WNBC's tradition of journalistic excellence as the station adapts to evolving media landscapes.
