Jim Ryan is a veteran television reporter and anchorman in New York City. He is a graduate of Manhattan College in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. He started his broadcast news career as a producer at WNBC in 1974, eventually becoming an anchor/reporter until he left for WNEW (later WNYW) in 1985. He became the station's political reporter until he began co-anchoring "Good Day New York" in 1988, a position he held until 2005, when WNYW threw an on-air retirement celebration for him. A few months later, he was "lured out of retirement" (according to weatherman and friend Dave Price), when he was hired to join the anchor team at "CBS 2 News This Morning". Ryan (and the other anchors) were replaced in April 2006 in a major shake-up at WCBS-TV. In the mid 1990s, Ryan also hosted "A Current Affair".

On September 11, 2001, Ryan was anchoring "Good Day New York". During a commercial break at 8:48 AM, WNYW cut to breaking news to show World Trade Center tower one burning. Ryan, Dave Price and Lyn Brown were anchoring during the attacks that Tuesday morning.

A widely-circulated video clip shows Ryan arguing on the air with reporter Dick Oliver in July of 2001.
