Instead, he’ll stay with Eyewitness News to report deeply personal, frontline stories on Alzheimer’s and dementia, driven by his own loss of his father to the disease. With decades of experience at WABC-TV and ABC News, Ritter brings unmatched integrity and heart to this new mission, aiming to shed light on patient struggles, care costs, and solutions. His colleagues and station leadership laud his legacy, praising his compassion and commitment to truth—a principle he’ll continue championing as he mentors younger journalists and shares his journey with the public.
