    Does 11 years rate a "*long term*"?...obviously the record for a
    NYC anchor is Chuck Scarborough's 1974-2024 tenure at WNBC.

    Throughout his career, Anastos also worked as an anchor at WCBS, WWOR and WNYW.

    ...did Anastos hold a record for any of those stations?
    (including the WOR and WNEW eras)

    The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
    at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
