If it were a movie, it might be called "Exodus." Yet another high profile news personality is leaving Detroit's WDIV, the latest of many. This time, it's Christy McDonald, who has worked for various radio and TV stations in Motown for decades. She's been with her current outlet since late 2022. 

She doesn't say why or when she's departing, but she's the latest in a long line out the door at Channel 4, which has seen a lot of personnel depart in the past few years. 

From the Detroit News:

"Numerous veterans have left Local 4 News since July 2024, when about 20 on-air and behind-the-camera staffers departed through a voluntary buyout. That group included longtime sports anchor Bernie Smilovitz, reporters Mara MacDonald and Paula Tutman, business editor Rod Meloni, photojournalist Tim Pamplin (better known as Nightcam) and director of local programming Ro Coppola.

In December, lead WDIV anchor Devin Scillian retired from the station."
