This longtime Cincinnati Reporter is leaving the Sinclair station for a life of less stress. 

WKRC Reporter Larry Davis has retired from the station and is the third long-time newsroom employee to go in five months.

Davis – who transitioned from Cincinnati radio news to TV 17 years ago – follows the exit of anchor Brad Johansen to WRAL-TV in Raleigh, NC, in February, and the retirement of 44-year reporter Deb Dixon in May.

Davis started at WKRC in 2001 as a news writer. He worked on the assignment desk and as a field producer before debuting as an on-air reporter in summer of 2003.  For much of the past 15 years, he covered Butler and Warren counties.

WKRC Reporter Joe Webb called Davis a "great guy (and) beloved coworker" on Twitter Thursday.

Davis said he decided to retire a year earlier than planned after getting two heart stents earlier this month. "I decided for health concerns that it was time to step away from the stress," he said.

I think anyone that works at a Sinclair station can understand how he feels.
