Fox 5 Veteran Anchor Ernie Anastos ‘Honored’ and 'Humbled' by Lifetime Achievement

For more than three decades, Ernie Anastos has been a constant on the New York TV scene. He has been working in local news since 1978 when he joined WABC’s Eyewitness News.

Now, the veteran anchorman is getting one of his industry’s top honors—the Lifetime Achievement Award at this Sunday’s New York Emmys—the first given to a local anchorman.
