ROCHESTER, N.Y. — News10NBC is saying goodbye to the person who has kept the station running behind the scenes for half a century.
Eric Johnson, or EJ as we call him, is directing his final News10NBC morning show on Monday. EJ started working at News10 as an intern in 1974, then onto the mail room. He made his way into production and eventually became the morning show director in 1989.
Both current and former News10NBC employees have sent messages congratulating EJ on 50 years and wishing him the best for his retirement. We also invited a legendary News10NBC anchor back to the studio for a farewell. Watch the video in this story.
