In December 2008, WNBC Reporter / Producer Carolyn Gusoff was let go from her position due to budget cuts. For the millions of New Yorkers who grew up watching her and loved having her in their living rooms, it was a devastating reality to accept.
Those millions of New Yorkers owe Carolyn a debt of gratitude and they want to see her back on the air again.

We the undersigned:
Recognize that Carolyn Gusoff, a broadcast news anchor, reporter, producer and Emmy award winning journalist should be on the air doing what she does best.
For over 20-years, many of us who live in New York learned about the biggest stories of our time through Carolyn. She was our most vocal advocate and always went above and beyond her duties. What other reporter in modern history works 36-straight hours straight on a story?!
Carolyn's sincerity and dedication to excellence was a big reason why we didn't change the channel.
We the undersigned implore any news organization who wishes to destroy their competition to immediately hire Carolyn. If she has to leave New York, we'll miss her like crazy however, we want her and you to ultimately be happy.
Please bring Carolyn Gusoff Back on the Air: NOW!
