Leaving the Business

Longtime WPEC (West Palm) Anchor Eric Roby is leaving the station and the TV news business altogether. 

After 17 years, Roby says he's leaving to sell homes. 

“I’ve decided to hang up my microphone and use my knowledge of all of our south Florida neighborhoods to sell real estate,” Roby said in a video on his social media. “Best of all, no more bad news—I’ll only be giving good news.”

He joined WPEC in 2001 and anchored the morning news segment called “This Morning.”  

“I've worked with the most amazing people. We have become more than friends. We are family. It's sad to think I won't see them everyday, but I'm excited for my new adventure in real estate!!,” Roby said on his Facebook page. 

Roby’s last day at the Sinclair station was Friday.
