Summary
After nearly four decades in journalism, veteran ABC7 anchor Bill Ritter is stepping down from the anchor desk — but not from the newsroom. Diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer’s, he’s transitioning to focus on reporting on neurological diseases, using his voice to raise awareness and advocate for those affected. Though treatments help manage his condition, Ritter’s legacy of integrity and heart remains intact, and his departure marks the end of an era — for now.
