Weekend co-anchor Mollie Lair leaving WLWT-TV
WLWT looking for a new weekend co-anchor and traffic reporter after departures of Alanna Martella and Lair.
After five years, Mollie Lair is dropping the mic and "taking a break from this crazy news life."
The Kentucky native, hired as Courtis Fuller's weekend evening co-anchor in August 2017, announced on social media that she's leaving the station this week.
"This role has defined much of my life since 2017," says Lair, a 2011 Elon University graduate. "It is a bittersweet moment to put down the microphone. After all, this job is all I’ve known my entire adult life. I’m thrilled for a new chapter filled with new challenges."
Lair tells me that she's staying in Cincinnati after her final day at Channel 5 on Wednesday Aug. 10.
