“Inside Edition” anchor Deborah Norville announces departure

NEW YORK (KYMA, KECY) - Deborah Norville, "Inside Edition" anchor, has announced her departure from the daily newsmagazine after 30 years.

On Wednesday's broadcast, Norville talked about her departing saying:

"It has been such an honor and privilege to be here at INSIDE EDITION for all these years. A milestone like this is a time for reflection, and on reflection, I have decided that now is the time to move on from INSIDE EDITION. They made me a lovely offer to stay, but there are things I'd like to do and places I want to do them that continuing here doesn't permit. So, at the end of the season, I'll be moving on. I've got some exciting things in the works, which I'll talk about later, but what I want to say now is what a privilege it's been to lead INSIDE EDITION for all these years. To work with the incredibly talented team here, and to be invited into your homes every day, it's an honor I don't take lightly."

Charles Lachman, the daily newsmagazine's Executive Producer, issued a statement saying, "Deborah's powerful presence, both on-screen and behind-the-scenes, has contributed immensely to the success of INSIDE EDITION for the past 30 years. She has made a lasting impact on the show, and I'm excited to follow along as she builds upon her outstanding broadcast legacy in her next chapter."

Norville, who is a two-time Emmy Award winner according to a press release obtained by KYMA, "joined Inside Edition in 1995 from CBS News," where she was an anchor and correspondent.
