Buzz: At ABC, Mr. Muir is known as a nice guy who can do anything and anything he does is going to be a home run. He’s a good writer and a hard-working reporter who likes pounding the pavement. ABC, which has had to fend off at least one pass made by another enamored network news division, is determined to remain Mr. Muir’s professional home. ABC likes him—really likes him.

David should take over for charles Gibson when he retires - he is the best and best looking guy out there! ABC needs to give him a higher profile, soon!

I agree. David does a great job anchoring on Sat nights on ABC and seems really personable/relatable to both men and women. Great write up a few months ago in Men's Vogue on him on the road.

WTVH is my local CBS even though I am 50 miles from Syracuse, I remember him from his days there, he was about the only watchable person on the local news. He did a good job with little of the bubbly fluff stuff that often is on the local news. Good to see him do well

David Muir is absolutely a brilliant news journalist and news anchor. The late Peter
Jennings would be very proud of him. He brings
new life and zest to the evening news. It is
my opinion he should replace Charles Gibson.
