A TV news producer may have been killed by a hit-and-run driver outside his Greenwich Village apartment Monday morning, police said.
Eric Wishnie, 44, was crossing at Sixth Avenue and 10th Street when he was allegedly struck at 3:05 a.m., according to authorities.
Wishnie was a producer for NBC News. He died at St. Vincent's Hospital, police said.
Wishnie was on leave from the network. He is the husband of NBC reporter Dawn Fratangelo.
NBC News President Steve Capus issued the following statement:
Eric Wishnie was an enormously talented former senior producer at NBC News, who had a hand in some of the most monumental and memorable news stories of our time. The entire NBC News family is devastated by this loss, and extends our deepest sympathies to his family.

The radar activates on this doesn’t it? He was on leave from NBC, and he was struck at 0305 hours. I would like to know a bit more.

The bad news is that there is someone to take his place.

At first glance it sounds unusual.
Then you remember producers work the morning shows, and get up at the same time as the on air talent, so it makes a bit more sense.

NY IS the city that never sleeps. Sometimes an accident is just an accident.

What was he doing out and about at 3:05 am? That's why I tell my kids to be home by midnight, nothing good happens after midnight. Mostly weirdos, drunks, and people up to 'no good' are out.

I realize that they work the morning hours and at first I thought this should be nothing unusual. But then I read he was on leave, and I wondered if he was getting home from having a few drinks, or if he was outside to meet with some “source” and got wacked. He may have been involved in important stories in the past, and maybe one of the people in those stories decided to give him an opinion.

Cops have told me that the only people running around late at night are cops and crooks.

Cops see every citizen as “guilty” of something.
