click to enlarge WHAM-TV (Channel 13) has been the dominant local news affiliate for the better part of 40 years, thanks to the longevity of a news team whose members almost everyone in Rochester knows by name. The station’s lead anchor, Don Alhart, has been with WHAM since 1966, and holds the Guinness World Record for “Longest Career as a Television News Broadcaster” (56 years and counting). Anchors Doug Emblidge and Ginny Ryan carried the 5 p.m. newscast together for 32 years until last fall, when both retired from the station. The newsroom boasts a stable of nearly 20 journalists, including popular sports anchor Mike Catalana, and beloved meteorologist Scott Hetsko, who notched a “Best Local Television Personality” win.
