“But that’s not all. We’ve gone on so many adventures together these past five years, around the world and all across this great country, 250 extended stories since 2019, all of it fueled by an incredible team that makes everything we do here possible,” Glor added.

I love working with great people and putting quality on the air. Interviewing and anchoring and reporting and doing stories that matter and will last. That is not going away, it never will. I hope to see you again real soon.”
