FOX 13’s Kelly Ring is announcing her retirement from television.
Kelly made the announcement during the 6 p.m. news on Tuesday, February 15, telling viewers, "
I remember the first time I walked into this television station more than three decades ago. I was a wide-eyed reporter and didn’t know a single person, but wow, what a journey this has been."
