“2020 was a year of loss, and NY1 just lost five of their best reporters,” Mr. Cuomo wrote on Twitter on Thursday. “This is a tremendous loss for all of their viewers.”For New Yorkers who revered NY1 as a lo-fi televised public square for the five boroughs — with amiable anchors who were part of the all-in-the-neighborhood charm — the discrimination lawsuit was bracing. On Thursday, Charter, which is based in Stamford, Conn., said it was “pleased” by the resolution of the anchorwomen’s suit. “We want to thank them for their years of dedicated service in reporting the news for New Yorkers, and we wish them well in their future endeavors,” Charter said in a statement. Ms. Torre and the other plaintiffs continued to appear on air in their regular slots at NY1 while the lawsuit was pending.
