Roland anchored the 10 p.m. newscast on New York’s Channel 5 for roughly three decades after beginning at the station as a weekday political reporter and weekend anchor in 1969.
His presence remained steadfast on the nightly news desk as he anchored alongside numerous colleagues over his tenure — including Rosanna Scotto in the 1990s. Roland delivered New Yorkers the day’s news with “his frank delivery and his compassion” for residents whether it was a quiet day in the Big Apple or a chaotic tragedy like on 9/11, according to Fox 5.“Sitting next to John was always a learning lesson,” Scotto said. “He took pride in his writing and his down-to-earth communicating. It was never more evident than anchoring next to him during the 9/11 attacks.
Later, he covered the Robert F. Kennedy assassination and the Charles Manson Trial, according to Fox 5.
