Sue Simmons is seen weekdays on NBC 4HD as the co-anchor of "NewsChannel 4 at 5 p.m." and "NewsChannel 4 at 11 p.m." A veteran New York television journalist, Simmons recently celebrated her 28th anniversary as a member of the WNBC family.

In 2003, Simmons and her co-anchor Chuck Scarborough were named New York's top anchor team by the New York Daily News. Simmons and Scarborough celebrated their 25th anniversary as an on-air anchor team at WNBC HD in January 2005.

In addition to her anchoring roles, Simmons has hosted many of Channel 4's special programs, including the recent hour-long special that commemorated the 100th anniversary of the New York City subway system, the TriBeCa Film Festival, coverage of the Puerto Rican Day parade and the New York City Marathon. She has also hosted the nationally syndicated program "Images: A Year in Review."

Shortly after her arrival at WNBC in 1980, Simmons became co-anchor of the original "Live At Five" newscast. She joined New York’s Channel 4 from WRC-TV, the NBC-owned station in Washington, D.C., where she had been a correspondent/anchor since 1976. Highlights of her reporting there include her coverage of the aftermath of the assassination of Chilean statesman Orlando Letelier and a series of stories on the status of special education in the public school system. She was the first correspondent to interview the Hanafi Muslims who seized several Washington buildings shortly after the 1979 takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran. While at WRC-TV, Simmons was one of the few reporters to interview Mrs. Walter Mondale while her husband was vice president. She also hosted two public affairs series, one of which was devoted to women's issues.

Simmons began her broadcasting career in 1973 as a correspondent for WTNH-TV in New Haven, Conn. While there, she hosted a community affairs series and served as the station's action reporter, handling a variety of consumer complaints on the air to provide assistance.

In 1974, Simmons joined WBAL-TV in Baltimore, Md. Beginning as a correspondent, Simmons later became the station's primary anchor and host of its acclaimed news magazine program, "Baltimore At One.”

Honored several times for outstanding journalism, Simmons is the recipient of four Emmy awards. In 1981, she was presented with an award for "Outstanding Performance By A News Commentator" by Barnabus McHenry, vice chairman of The President's Task Force on the Arts and Humanities.

A native New Yorker, Simmons is the daughter of the late John Simmons, a renowned jazz bassist whose collaborators included Louis Armstrong, Art Tatum, John Coltrane, Billie Holliday, Benny Goodman and Nat King Cole.
