Signing Off in O-Town

After almost 3 decades at the station, longtime Orlando Anchor Martie Salt announced that she will retire from WFTV.

Salt has been at the Cox station for 29 years and in the business for 40, most recently anchored the station’s Noon newscast.

"Today, 40 years later, I’m announcing that I am happily concluding my broadcasting career in December," Salt said. "Much has changed during that time. My lashes have gotten longer, Central Florida’s population has exploded and now the news never stops."

"I’m especially thankful for the viewers who continued to watch and the news directors who allowed me to stay on the air despite some early mistakes and some very bad hair days," she said in the post. "People like you have kept people like me employed ... Thank you for welcoming me into your homes and allowing a girl who had absolutely no math skills an opportunity to develop her communications skills and make a career out of it."

Her last day in December 13th.
