Sue Simmons Out at WNBC

Sue Simmons, a fixture on the New York news scene for decades, will depart WNBC in June, reports the NY Post:

After more than three decades, WNBC/Channel 4 is tossing anchorwoman Sue Simmons overboard.

Last week, the station gave her the bad news that her contract would not be renewed - and come June, she’s history.

Simmons came on board at WNBC in 1980. She and Chuck Scarborough have been an on air team at WNBC for decades. Scarborough recently inked a new three year deal, reports Cindy Adams at the Post.

In January, Simmons was moved off 6 p.m., and only did the 11 with Scarborough.

WNBC confirmed the news in a statement from NB spokeswoman Dawn Rowan.
