"There was a time. A time before cable. When the local anchorman reigned supreme. When people believed everything they heard on TV. This was an age where only men were allowed to read the news. And in San Diego, one anchorman was more man then the rest. His name was Ron Burgundy. He was like a God walking amongst mere mortals. He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr. And suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo. In other words Ron Burgundy was the balls."

A five-time Emmy Award-winning journalist, Ron Burgundy is the main anchor for the KVWN Channel 4 News Team from 1964 to 1977. He is the protagonist of the film. Always confident and well-dressed, he is nevertheless ignorant, egotistical, misogynistic, and narcissistic, stating that he believes "diversity" to be some type of "old, old wooden ship used in the Civil War era." It eventually is revealed that he knows almost nothing of the news or what makes it work, and is a success because he "reads the news quite very well." Despite this he remains the rock for the entire group. He has a great fondness for a good glass of scotch, poetry, and his good friend/pet dog Baxter, and plays a mean jazz flute.
Ron is backed by his KBWN News team associates.

"Oops... I almost forgot. I won't be able to make it fellas. Veronica and I trying this new fad called uh, jogging. I believe it's jogging or yogging. it might be a soft j. I'm not sure but apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It's supposed to be wild."
