KTRK Houston's Dave Ward, who holds the world record for logging more years at a single station than any other TV anchor, this week hits 50 years at the ABC O&O. Ward nabbed a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records in June when he clocked in 49 years and 218 days after joining KTRK as a reporter and photographer. Ward started anchoring the 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. news roughly two years later, in 1968, when he coined his trademark opener, "Good evening friends." He has used the greeting in every newscast since.
