Unforunately, Bank was force to quit because of her own medical health. She has myopic degeneration. She is losing her eyesight. She can not cure the degeneration. She was last on air in 10-07.

I hope the best for Ms Bank.

Cherie is definitely a class act. She will be deeply missed. You could tell that she was one of those people that truly enjoyed doing her job. I wish all the best to her.

It was nice to see Renee on earlier than 11pm (even though she was just there to do a story). Can we make make this permanent and have her co-anchor at 6pm with Tim? I'll even take Dawn or Denise at 6pm with Tim.

I saw on the 5pm report they had some recorded comments from Steve Levy. Pretty cool to see him again. They also had Bill Baldini in studio for some filmed reflections.
