Overview
- Witt delivered her final broadcast on Sunday, September 6, closing a roughly 27–30 year run that began at the network in 1999.
- MS NOW aired a roughly 15-minute career retrospective during the final show that highlighted Witt’s coverage of major events such as 9/11, the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, and the Pulse nightclub shooting.
- Witt made an emotional on-air farewell thanking production staff, longtime executive producer Nick Kovijanic, and her two children while colleagues joined the set to pay tribute.
- Antonia Hylton was presented on air as Witt’s successor and will debut her weekend program, The Assignment, on September 12.
- The retirement follows reporting in June that MS NOW planned to move weekend live news to pre-taped programming, a scheduling change that frames the immediate lineup transition and could reshape weekend news staffing and format.
