BREAKING NEWS: Kayley O'Kelley is leaving KTVT CBS 11. O'Kelley who anchored CBS 11 News at 5, 6, & 10pm since January 2015 has announced on Facebook she's leaving the station to pursue a "better work/life balance." O'Kelley's last day is May 23rd. Kayley said this on Facebook. "Ever struggle to balance career, marriage, and family life? You’re clearly not alone. I write this with a heavy heart and a huge sense of gratitude for my experience with CBS DFW. Turning down an amazing opportunity to continue on as main anchor in a city we love is no easy choice. However, I am in need of a better work/life balance. I am definitely NOT leaving my career forever, instead I’m giving my self some time to focus on my family and other interests." "As a journalist I’ve lived in more zip codes than I care to remember. I’ve walked through communities devastated by natural disaster. I’ve covered graphic murder investigations and the court cases that follow... was a weekend weather warrior commuting to and from NYC to fill-in at GOOD MORNING AMERICA. And I’ve been blessed to co-host The EmmittZone with Emmitt Smith when I worked in Phoenix and serve as a guest co-host on The Talk on CBS." "I look forward to new opportunities later, but for now I will focus on slowing life down. My last day with CBS 11 is May 23rd. I love our team and the viewers who so kindly welcomed me here in North Texas years ago." http://www.unclebarky.com/dfw_files/dfcdd2eb26495b673f3b705f899460e6-4179.html I don't see Karen Borta coming back to evenings soon, but it might happen.

Washington DC is losing a lot of great legendary broadcasters. I remember we lost Brenner, Michael, Solly, Robinson, and recently last year we lost Vance. I hope and pray for Bruce's recovery and praying for him and for his family to be more than 100% better and stronger. Please, send your get well wishes and prayers to Bruce if you can. https://www.facebook.com/OffScripton9/

First time a 7pm news airing in DFW since KTXA 21 News: First in Prime in '06. (And I still miss that newscasts, they were DFW's KCAL.)
