A familiar and trusted broadcast presence in New York City over the last 50 years has signed off the air for the final time: Chuck Scarborough, who has anchored or coanchored WNBC TV since Nixon was in office,

Scarborough concluded his historic 50-year tenure at WNBC, marking the end of an era in New York television news history.

After more than 50 years, legendary broadcast journalist, Chuck Scarborough, stepped down from his daily duties of anchoring the news at flagship station WNBC. He signed off with a powerful message to viewers. Guy Pearce Says He Never Acted in Chris Nolan ...

David Ushery, who has been with the station since 2003 and working in the marketing since 1993, has been named to replace Scarborough on the station’s 6 p.m. newscast. Ushery already anchors the station’s 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts, so his being selected as replacement is not a surprise.

David Ushery will replace Chuck Scarborough as co-anchor of WNBC/4's 6 p.m. broadcast starting next Monday, the station announced Monday. Scarborough will step down as WNBC/4's lead anchor after a half-century run this Thursday.

The veteran journalist will join Natalie Pasquarella on Dec. 16, following Scarborough’s retirement on Dec. 12. Ushery will continue anchoring at 4 and 11 p.m. The post David Ushery To Succeed Chuck Scarborough On WNBC’s 6 P.
