Longtime Eyewitness News Anchor Bill Ritter Steps Down, Shares Alzheimer's Diagnosis | Video

Bill Ritter, a beloved anchor for WABC's "Eyewitness News," shared Friday that he is stepping down following an Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. "After a series of tests, my doctors have told me I have Alzheimer's," Ritter shared during Friday's broadcast of "Eyewitness News." "It's 'early stage' Alzheimer's, and they say the treatments I'm getting are keeping it at bay. For now. But there is no guarantee, because there's no cure yet for Alzheimer's. So, unless someone finds an amazing cure, and soon, tonight (Friday) will be the last newscast I anchor." . . .
