Lisa Olliges joined KOAM (Joplin, MO) back in 1988.

Now she has announced that she is leaving the station and the TV business altogether.

She leaves to become the PR flack for Freeman Health System.

“Time for a change. After 31 years I am leaving KOAM-TV to join Freeman Health System as media relations coordinator. Thanks to all those who have granted me interviews, called me with news tips or simply offered an encouraging word. It's been my privilege to broadcast news here in the four states<“ she posted to social media.

No November book for her, she’s already gone.
