anchorman
News desk leader
An anchorman is the principal presenter of a television news broadcast, the person who introduces stories, conducts interviews, and provides continuity between segments.
The term derives from the anchor position in relay races—the final, most reliable runner.
Walter Cronkite was the most trusted anchorman of his era.
The gender-neutral anchor or anchorperson now often replaces it.
