The short answer
What the archive says
01Take the opportunity that scares you — Ted accepted the anchor role specifically because it frightened him, and treated it as a growth challenge rather than a competition with colleagues. source →
02Local TV news stations are largely independently owned; Ted works for Fox Carolina, not the Fox network, and the only shared element is prime-time programming. source →
03Journalists live on Twitter; the Hudson River plane landing was the first time a social platform beat the news networks, and Ted first learned of the Las Vegas shooting through TweetDeck. source →
In their words
What was actually said
If you would have told me three years ago, I was going to be an anchor. I would not have believed you. If you would have told me three or four years prior to that, I was going to be a meteorologist.
