Philly Anchor Bolting CBS O&O

Viewers are shocked to learn that KYW CBS 3 (Philly) Anchor Susan Barnett is leaving the station.​

Barnett grew up in the Philly area and also said that anchoring the news in Philadelphia was a dream of hers.​

Now, she's leaving.​ Her contract expired at the end of March and she hasn't been seen on the air.

"I have decided to not renew my contract with the stations at this time. I am incredibly thankful for having been a part of the CBS Philly family, but I feel that this is the right decision at this time," Barnett said in a statement.

Barnett joined the station 2006 and was bumped up to the main anchor gig in 2008.

It seems odd for someone to walk away from a main anchor job in Philly.

Barnet also wrote on her Facebook page "I wanted to tell you that I won't be returning to CBS3. This is not a decision that I expected to make, however it's the right one, for many reasons."

Her co-anchor Chris May let his Facebook fans also know that Barnett was leaving the station:​
