Pat Battle

Patricia N. Battle (born December 9, 1959) is WNBC-TV's New Jersey Bureau Reporter, Saturday and Sunday"Today in New York" co-anchor, and occasional fill-in anchor. Battle joined WNBC in 1996 as a general assignment reporter, with a focus on New Jersey. Prior to her tenure at WNBC, she covered New Jersey for WCBS-TV as well as WCAU-TV Philadelphia, and hosted public affairs programs for New Jersey Network. However, Battle's journalism career began in print. She got her start as a reporter for the "Asbury Park Press" in Asbury Park, New Jersey.

Battle attended the University of Maryland, College Park, School of Journalism and is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists. She won a 2005 New York Emmy Award for Political Programming for her work on the presidential primary edition of "What Matters". [Paskin, Willa.

While reporting a shark attack in New Jersey on "Live at Five", a listener of the Opie and Anthony Show interrupted her broadcast as part of their "Assault on the Media" campaign. Battle ignored them and WNBC did not have a live shot after her package completed, which is standard procedure when persons attempt to disrupt live shots. Since then she has become a popular reference on this radio program: her name is used for such plays on words such as: "Pat Battlefield 2", "You sunk my Pat Battleship!", "Pat Battlestar Galactica"

She is a resident of Teaneck, New Jersey and is married to WABC-TV reporter Anthony Johnson.Salazar, Carolyn.
