Another Scripps Anchor Heads for the Exit

Popular Phoenix Anchor Katie Raml announced that she is leaving Scripps-owned KNXV.

She’s not leaving just yet, but it’s the Feb book, so you need to announce now.

Raml says she’s leaving to spend the dinner hour with her family and trying things that she hasn’t had the time to do so.

Raml started at the station in 1996 as a promotions assistant and left for another market and came back 2002.

"The privilege of serving this community has been the honor of a lifetime. As someone who grew up in the Valley, telling the stories that shape our community has been more than a job – it's been my calling. As I turn my focus to spending more quality time with my family, I'm filled with gratitude for the trust our viewers have placed in me and the incredible team I've had the privilege to work alongside,” Raml said.

"Katie represents the gold standard in broadcast journalism," said KNXV News Director Mitch Jacob. "Her unparalleled professionalism, editorial judgment, and genuine connection with viewers have been instrumental in establishing ABC15 as Arizona’s leading news organization. While we will deeply miss her presence in our newsroom, her legacy will continue to inspire excellence in our news coverage."
