In "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" ,what city does Ron Burgundy go to work?

The story behind the answer

In Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, Ron Burgundy goes to work in New York City. The film opens in 1979 with Ron and Veronica Corningstone working as married co-anchors for a prestigious New York news network.

Ron’s career takes a sharp turn when their boss promotes Veronica to full-time nightly anchor and fires Ron because of his increasingly sloppy on-air performance. After a period of professional collapse back in San Diego, Ron receives a new opportunity from Freddie Shapp, an executive at the Global News Network, a fictional 24-hour news channel.

Ron then reunites his former news team—Champ Kind, Brian Fantana and Brick Tamland—and returns to New York to work the network’s unpopular late-night shift. His sensational, ratings-driven approach helps transform the channel and becomes the film’s central satire of cable news.

The city can be confusing because Ron is strongly associated with San Diego in the first film and briefly returns there after being fired. In the sequel, however, the major new workplace and the destination for his second chance are both in New York City.
