On Tuesday night's edition of Current TV's Joy Behar: Say Anything, residents of the New York area were treated to an interview with former Wnbc-4 anchor Sue Simmons, her first since leaving the local channel in June, after a 32-year stint alongside Chuck Scarborough at 11pm, and a 27-year run on Live At Five with the likes of current CNN crank Jack Cafferty. Displaying the kind of loose wit that characterized her career, Simmons joked that her replacement, 37 year-old Shiba Russell, is "an old 37."...

Despite multiple social media campaigns to salvage her post at Wnbc, veteran news anchor Sue Simmons is on track to exit the station on Friday, June 15th.
Simmons' final newscast will air during the 11pm slot opposite co-anchor Chuck Scarborough, ending the 32 year run of New York's longest running anchor team.
The 69-year old's firing back in March sparked heavy backlash from Simmons' loyal fans and even a #SaveSueSimmons hashtag, Facebook group, and Tumblr account devoted to keeping the longtime anchor on air.
Despite the heartfelt attempts, however, not everyone's sad to see her go. The New York Post reported on disgruntled Wnbc employees who have come to resent Simmons for her whopping $5 million a year salary and alleged bad attitude.
Simmons' history of on-air gaffes, most notably her infamous "What the f**k" faux pas, and admittance to boozing on the job probably hasn't helped save her career either.

If you live in New York, or ever have, you’ve probably already gotten word that newscaster Sue Simmons, who’s been with Wnbc since 1980, would not have her contract renewed this June. Maybe your Facebook page is covered with as many salutes as mine. As soon as her friend Cindy Adams broke the news, longtime fans started sharing their surprise, along with their memories and a longshot attempt to save her job.
Yes, many will remember her on-air profanity slip in 2008 and the ensuing apology. Or her admission that back in the day she used to have a drink...

Warning: Video is Nsfw on account of a curse word.
Sue Simmons, the beloved New York Wnbc anchor who gave us that little gem of a YouTube sensation almost four years ago, has been booted from her station after more than 30 years, reports the New York Post.
Last week, the station told Simmons her contract would not be renewed, and June will be the end for her. The Post reports that Simmons, 68, is the top-paid anchorwoman at any local station in the country. Chuck Scarborough, Simmons co-anchor, is also 68 and has been given three more years on his contract.
In January, Simmons was removed from the 6 o'clock news, joining Scarborough only for the 11 p.m. slot.
Did her cursing blunder from 2008 really have any bearing on her being let go? Is this a case of blatant sexism? Or is something else at work here?...

Local news anchor and Wnbc veteran Sue Simmons has been given the axe by television executives after an epic 32 years on air.
The New York Post delivers the sad news that Simmons' contract will be up in June, ending the longest-running anchor team that is the legendary Sue Simmons and co-anchor Chuck Scarborough duo.
Scarborough will remain for at least three more years.
Simmons began her career at Channel 4 in 1980 and as is the highest paid anchorwoman for local stations in the country.
Her more than three decades of airtime saw some classic television moments, most notably and hilariously including her F-Bomb wielding remark to Scarborough in 2008.
The Awl eulogizes her career at Wnbc quite perfectly:
Sue Simmons has been the face of local news here in New York for literally as long as I can remember. A hard-charging, swear-dropping, before-broadcast-drinking, poker-playing, fun-loving broad, she has been exactly what...

New York's local affiliate is dealing with a lot these days - taking breaks from non-stop Olympic coverage and trying to keep the Tri-state region abreast of the deadly snowfall. Yes, deadly, as it appears that the vast amounts of snow felled a tree near Central Park yesterday, tragically killing a man in his 50's. Really sad, right? Not according to Wnbc studio guest Joan Rivers, who was moved to shout "who cares?" after anchor Chuck Scarborough reported the casualty.

A local anchor's recent F-bomb on live TV hasn't seemed to hurt her career.
WNBC's Sue Simmons caused a stir earlier this month when she swore during a live promo for the station's 11 p.m. newscast. She apologized for the remark during the 11 p.m. newscast and then again in a statement. The controversy didn't stop the NBC O&O from giving Simmons the choice 6 p.m. newscast duties with co-anchor Chuck Scarborough.
Simmons and Scarborough have been a three-decade tradition on the New York airwaves. The two already co-anchor the 11 p.m. newscast, while Simmons co-anchors the 5 p.m. newscast and Scarborough is the 7 p.m. "New York Nightly News" anchor.
The changes are effective Monday.

A longtime New York TV anchor apologized to viewers Monday night after swearing during a live news promo on the NBC owned-and-operated station.
Sue Simmons, who has been working at WNBC since 1980, uttered the expletive during a news tease at about 10:25 p.m. She had been doing a tease about the cost of groceries when, off camera, she yelled, "What the f*** are you doing?"
Simmons and her on-air partner, Chuck Scarborough, didn't immediately address the issue in the 11 p.m. newscast, but Simmons later apologized.
"We need to acknowledge an unfortunate mistake that I made in one of the teases we bring to you before this program," Simmons said during the newscast. "While we were live just after 10 o'clock, I said a word that many people find offensive. I am truly sorry. It was a mistake on my part, and I sincerely apologize."
The target of and reason for the expletive was unclear.
WNBC received about 100 calls in the half-hour, some to complain, some to call attention to what happened and some who didn't mind.
