Obit: Tom Gregory@79..."It's 10 p.m., do you know where your children are?"

SARASOTA, Fla., Dec. 15 — Tom Gregory, a television personality best remembered in New York for his catchphrase at the beginning of the 10 p.m. WNEW newscast — “It’s 10 p.m. Do you know where your children are?” — died here on Monday. He was 79.

His death, of heart disease, was confirmed by his daughter Linda Stelzen, who said he first used the phrase in the 1960s when he was anchor of the news program “Faces and Places in the News” at WNEW, which was then an independent station broadcasting on Channel 5 in New York.

It continues to this day on the 10 p.m. Fox newscast that succeeded “Faces and Places” in 1967.

But most of all, he was known for this.
