NBC10 anchor and former Philadelphia Eagle Vai Sikahema will retire from his morning news post later this year, the station confirmed Thursday.

After more than 25 years, Sikahema plans to say goodbye to viewers in November. While he has worn many hats at the station, he now anchors the 4-to-7-a.m. news show alongside Tracy Davidson, as well as an 11 a.m. broadcast.

“We will miss his presence on the anchor desk and in the newsroom,” an NBC10 spokesperson said in a statement. “We congratulate Vai for his many years of service to our team and his commitment to our community. We look forward to celebrating Vai and his many accomplishments with our NBC10 family.”
