After 32 years in the anchor chair, Lewis Dodley announced in early May that he would be retiring from that role. As NY1’s nighttime anchor, he has brought his storytelling and iconic voice to New Yorkers for more than three decades. Through triumphs and tragedies and everything in between, generations of New Yorkers have relied on him each evening, as have his co-workers.
As we say goodbye to Lewis this week, we thought we would revisit an interview Pat Kiernan did with Lewis in November 2023, where they discuss how Lewis got into the business, where he finds inspiration and his hopes for the future of news.
