Al Terzi - WFSB 3 Connecticut

Households across southern New England know Emmy-Award winning news anchor Al Terzi.

One of the state's most-respected broadcast journalists since the 1960s, Al anchors the weekday editions of Eyewitness News at 5 and 5:30 P.M.

Al's current tenure at Channel 3 began in January 1994.  He had previously worked for Channel 3 from 1968-1978, and then spent two years in Florida, as a news anchor and news director at a station in West Palm Beach.   During that period, he survived a devastating accident, when the airplane he was piloting developed fuel problems and crash-landed in a wooded area during a trip to Tallahassee.

In 1980, Al returned to Connecticut, to work at WTNH-TV in New Haven, where he served 14 years until returning to Channel 3.

Al's education includes undergraduate work at both Yale and Central Connecticut State.  He also holds a law degree from the University of Connecticut School of Law.

A military veteran, Al served more than seven years of active duty with U.S. Air Force intelligence operations in the Far East.

Al is a long-standing member of the Society of Professional Journalists.
