anchormen
Lead news presenters
Anchormen is the plural of anchorman, the principal presenter of a television or radio news broadcast who coordinates segments and introduces correspondents.
The term derives from the anchor position in relay racing—the final, most crucial runner.
In American broadcasting, the anchorman became a trusted figure delivering nightly news, though the gender-neutral anchor has largely replaced it.
The network's anchormen competed fiercely for ratings during the evening broadcast.
