news anchor
Evening broadcast host
A news anchor is a broadcast journalist who presents news programs, typically from a studio desk.
The anchor introduces stories, interviews guests, and provides continuity between segments.
The term derives from the anchor position in relay races—the final, most reliable runner.
Major network anchors become public figures: She's been the evening news anchor for fifteen years.
