Channel 3 News Director Rita Andolsen announced today that morning show co-anchor Abby Ham will be returning to her earlier roots, to her family in Knoxville, Tennesee as WBIR's morning show anchor.
Ham will leave in June.
Abby joined the Channel 3 News team back in November, 2007.
Andolsen said, "Abby has been a wonderful addition to the morning show team. We will miss her smile, her spirit, and her dedication, but her heart is calling her home to her family in Knoxville."
Abby and her on-air comrades of Mark Nolan, Hollie Strano, and Maureen Kyle as well as the entire morning show team have worked very hard to make Channel 3 News Today the place to turn when you wake up and the perfect way to start your new day. They have gained a faithful fan base.
WKYC and WBIR are both Gannett-owned stations.
I wish her well on her new endeavors. She will be missed. Our loss is definitely WBIR's gain!

Wow!! I would have thought this blog would have a zillion posts and comments, oh well....
We in East TN absolutely adore Abby here, she was the reason that most of us watched crappy WBIR here, when she left, we turned the channel...an apparently WBIR finally figured that out. Anyway, CONGRATS ABBY, we can't wait to see you again in Knoxville!! You make the news worth watching...
Abby Ham sucked. It was totally obvious that no one liked her. I tried to like her, but got sick of her constant whining about the wheather in northeast ohio. She complained about how long it took her to get to work one snowy morning, having to scrape ice off her windows, and having to get into her car from the passenger door, due to the drivers door being frozen over with ice. How bout doing a little more research on the area you plan on moving to. So long Abby Ham, put on Maureen Kyle.
