David Muir brings the news to people every night as the anchor for ABC World News.
Muir got his start in the broadcasting industry at the age of 13, when he joined a local news station in his hometown of Syracuse as an intern. In 2003, he joined ABC News where he covered countless historic events and reported from around the world.
After a decade at the station, he was named as Diane Sawyer’s replacement. Since then, he’s continued to interview multiple political figures, win several prestigious awards, moderate Presidential debates and more.
“All of the noise that you hear afterward, about which candidate won the debate, the moderators win or lose, that’s just noise,” Muir said of his experience moderating the 2024 debate during a September appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark. “You all know that. The most important thing to remember is that you all have the power.”

He’s Got Upstate Roots
Muir was born in Syracuse and grew up in Onondaga Hill. He went to school at Ithaca College, where he graduated magna cum laude. While Muir resides in New York City now, he does spend time upstate and bought a home on Skaneateles Lake.
“This job takes me all over the world, and I can’t think of a better place to catch my breath,” Muir said to Syracuse.com in September 2023.
He’s a Jetsetter
