True that television anchors are the faces of television news channels; hence, they playrncrucial roles in shaping the image of their channel. This study proposed to assess thernpractice of TV news anchoring at TV stations in Ethiopia i.e. ETV, EBS and FANA TV.rnTo find out the available data, qualitative research method has deployed. The studyrnanalyzes transcribed texts, an in- depth interview of three news department heads, ninernnews anchors, three editors, three studio directors, three feedback department heads ofrnETV, EBS and FANA TV. In total, 21 respondents have interviewed. Moreover, it used asrnprimary sources vacancy advertisement of ETV, and Editorial policies of ETV, EBS andrnFANA. Draft guidelines of news anchorsâ€™ manuals have used. In addition, five daysrnevening news hours on air performance anchors of each station have attended. Thernoverall result findings show that ETV, EBS and FANA TV do not have a trend of skilledrnTV news anchors with accepted and standardized role, duty and job responsibilities. Theyrnlack clear working systems on the input of anchors in newsroom. And most of the TVrnanchors lack the knowledge of reading techniques and mechanics. (i.e. pitch, tone,rnemphasis and pause etc.). This study concludes that the stations give no attention forrnanchoring. Apart from this, there is no news anchors recruitment manual and guidelines.rnSo, clearly enhancing TV news anchoring contribution to the overall outcome of the newsrndepartment through introducing a clear job description and responsibilities of TV newsrnanchors is very important.
