NEW YORK (WABC) — WABC-TV Channel 7 is wishing a happy birthday to one of our very own: Eyewitness News Anchor Bill Ritter.
Members of the newsroom came together on Thursday to celebrate the longtime Eyewitness News anchor, who turned 76 years old.
The celebration included everyone singing happy birthday to Bill and feasting on two delicious cakes. Members of the Eyewitness News team also had the chance to write down what they love about Bill in a note placed on his desk.
Bill Ritter currently co-anchors the 6 p.m. weekday newscast with Liz Cho and hosts “Up Close” at 11 a.m. on Sundays.
Happy Birthday, Bill!
