STATEMENT OF MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON THE DEATH OF ABC RADIO REPORTER GEORGE WEBER

“I was shocked and saddened to learn about the death of George Weber, who 77 WABC listeners and radio listeners from around the country knew as ‘George Weber the news guy.’ George was the kind of professional who could give you the news and his views without one getting in the way of the other, and he was an absolutely central part of my Friday WABC radio show with John Gambling and dozens of other programs.  George called news events as he saw them with little regard to party politics or ideology.  On or off the air, and especially during our commercial breaks, his views were incisive and insightful.  He’ll be deeply missed by millions of radio listeners, including me, and my thoughts and prayers are with his family in this difficult time.”
