WNBC’s Jane Hanson: “I’m a Woman Over 50, and Women Over 50 Are Not Necessarily Welcomed”

“I’m a woman over 50, and women over 50 are not necessarily welcomed on television,” WNBC’s Jane Hanson told TVSpy’s sister site FishbowlNY recently.

Hanson spent 27 years with WNBC, much of it as a morning anchor, before being unceremoniously fired in 2006.
