Broadcasting & Cable Magazine said that he was one of the best local sports anchors in the country. In 1999, he was awarded the New York Emmy for Outstanding On-Camera Achievement in Sports Reporting.

The Jessica Savitch Award of Distinction for Excellence in Journalism is given to broadcasters who work hard to teach the next generation of journalists. It was set up to honor Jessica Savitch, who graduated from Park and works as a broadcast journalist.

Savitch gave the main speech at her Ithaca College graduation in 1979. She was also chosen to be on the board of trustees for the college. After a year, she was given an honorary degree from Ithaca College.

In Philadelphia, Savitch was a big deal. But rumors spread that she used drugs and was not stable, which hurt her reputation. Her coworkers didn't like how she became a star, which made them angry.

When Savitch was on the air, she spoke in an unprofessional and erratic way. She slurred her words and couldn't keep up with what she was writing.

Savitch hired a voice coach to help her improve how she spoke. She also did things like make up reports on the spot and improvise the voiceover for a graphic film.
