Veteran WTVD Anchor John Clark to Retire

WTVD morning anchor John Clark is leaving the Raleigh-Durham, N.C. ABC station after 32 years at there.

“After 43 years of news broadcasting — the last 32 here at WTVD ABC11– I am retiring! My last day on-air will be December 13th, so you have a little more time to put up with me,” he wrote on social media. “I’ll say more as the time draws nearer, but let me just say for now how honored I am that you have invited me into your homes all these years. I don’t take that lightly! And I also don’t take lightly the efforts of my hard-working colleagues here at ABC11. They are more than co-workers. They are family and I will miss them dearly.”

Clark hinted at what he’ll do next by saying., “I have other post-retirement plans, as well, which I’ll tell you about later. In the meantime, make it a great day and do something good for somebody!”
