Jim Ryan on WCBS in 2005

Jim Ryan is a veteran television reporter and anchorman in New York City. He started his broadcast news career as a producer at WNBC in 1974, eventually becoming an anchor/reporter until he left for WNEW (later WNYW) in 1985. He became the station's political reporter until he began co-anchoring Good Day New York in 1988, a position he held until 2005, when he went into "retirement". WNYW threw an on-air retirement celebration for him, only to a few months later be lured out of retirement (as it was put on-air by weatherman and close friend Dave Price), when he was hired to join the anchor team at CBS 2 News This Morning. Ryan (and the other anchors) were replaced in April 2006 in a major shake-up at WCBS-TV.

In 2004 and 2005, WCBS went to the creators of the hit Broadway show Avenue Q to create puppets to promote their morning show. This particular promo aired between September and October 2005. It annouced the arrival of New York legend Jim Ryan to the morning show. Puppets of anchors pictured left to right: Dave Price, Shon Gables, Mario Bosquez, and Jim Ryan. All of these anchors were let go from the station in April 2006.
