LIZ BISHOP,
News Anchor at Channel 6, has covered a wide variety of assignments in a career that has spanned more than two decades at the station.

In the mid-70's she became the first woman reporter allowed into the New York Yankee locker room after the Supreme Court ruled it should be open to women reporters. Liz has won numerous awards for General Excellence in Reporting (1993 and 1999). She has also interviewed many national figures from Wilt Chamberlain to Bob Hope. Liz has been a member of the board of directors of the Empire State Youth Orchestra since 1990.
