Yes Nearly after 2 decades at CNN Kyra Phillips moves to ABC News.

Kyra Phillips, who has spent the last 19 years at CNN, is joining ABC News as a D.C.-based correspondent.

ABC News president James Goldston announced the move this morning.

The Peabody, Murrow, and Emmy-award winning journalist joined CNN in 1999 as an anchor for CNN Newsroom. She’s covered national and global events from the Sept. 11 attacks, to the war in Iraq. In 2012, she moved to HLN to anchor a daytime show. She returned to CNN where she’s been an investigative correspondent, including reporting a story last year that stemmed from her time working as an investigative reporter at KCBS in Los Angeles, covering the OJ Simpson murder trial.

Before KCBS, Phillips worked at local stations WDSU in New Orleans, WLUK in Green Bay and KAMC in Lubbock, TX.

Even the people most dedicated to a place have to flee when it becomes clear the place is beyond the point of saving and being managed by fools. She may get the anchor desk on weekends as well.

I'm not certain this an anti-CNN move, as it is a chance to move to a major network. Kira is a good talent and deserves the promotion.
