CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota has announced she is leaving her post at the cable news network after more than a decade with the company.
On Sunday, Camerota revealed she was making her final appearance on CNN as her contract is set to expire.
“I’ve had such incredible opportunities here these days 10-plus years,” she said on the air as she announced her exit. “I’ve interviewed presidents, and heroes, and extraordinary people – the kind of peak career experiences that I had dreamed of since I was a teenager. I’m always touched when a viewer comes up and tells me that I helped get them through these challenging times.”
Alisyn Camerota joined the network in 2014 after a lengthy tenure at Fox News. She then served as the host of the CNN morning show New Day, before the network reimagined its morning lineup in 2022.
“Alisyn is a rare talent with the ability to interview world leaders and everyday heroes with both strength and empathy,” CNN CEO Mark Thompson said in a statement released on Sunday. “She’s been a wonderful colleague at CNN for more than a decade, and we will be cheering her on in her new pursuits where she will surely find much success.”
