Sources tell FTVLive that WGCL main Anchor Sharon Reed just announced that she is leaving the Meredith station after the May book.

Reed is the controversial Anchor that many inside WGCL feels wields much power.

Insiders believe that it was Reed that single handedly brought in Steve Doerr as the station’s News Director. Reed and Doerr worked together in Cleveland, where Doerr convinced Reed to go naked for a story.

“Wow! The queen bee just announced she is leaving the hive,” said one WGCL staffer to FTVLive.

A year an a half ago, Reed raised eyebrows when she used the N-word in its entirety on air.

Reed has been a lightning rod for critics, but she also is about as good as it gets in TV news, when it comes to rolling with the punches.

Stay tuned, FTVLive will have more on this story.
