END OF AN ERA: The world’s longest-serving TV news broadcaster is retiring after 58 years at 13WHAM ABC. Many of us who grew up in Rochester can’t remember a time when Don Alhart wasn’t our local anchor. 🎤 Don has covered the news with curiosity, empathy, and ethics. 🗞️ He mentored so many journalists over the years. He was a role model for me (even following in his footsteps to Ithaca College). 👨🎓 Don is a bright light in the industry. ☀️ Happy retirement, Don. You’ve earned it. #DonAlhart #RochesterNY #LocalNews #IthacaCollege
Wow I’m speechless. This was a beautiful send off Mr. Adams. He paved the way for so many aspiring journalists. Congratulations on a immaculate career.
Congratulations To Don On A Truly Monumental Broafcasting Career! All The Best In Your Next Chapter My Friend. #WellDone
As a Rochester kid, Don is one of the many reasons why I became a journalist. What an inspiration to us all!
