Matt Parcell, who has been news director at WFTV-Channel 9 since August 2012, announced Wednesday that he will retire.

Parcell made his announcement at a station meeting. The ABC affiliate will seek a replacement by posting the job, and Parcell will stay until the new news director arrives. Parcell estimated that he could leave in mid-January.

“Things just came together on a number of levels. It was a good time to step back after a 35-year career,” Parcell said in an interview. “I don’t have to do it anymore.”

Parcell has been with WFTV since 1997. He had been No. 2 to news director Bob Jordan and took over the top job after Jordan left to become news director at KIRO in Seattle. Staffers said Parcell is widely respected.
