Longtime WSIL (Southern Illinois) morning Anchor Kevin Hunsperger has left the station and TV news altogether.

During an emotional goodbye, Hunsperger had a message for viewers.

"Finally, thank you, the viewers of News 3. Your kindness through the past decade and a half has meant more to me and my family than you'll ever know. I'm not saying goodbye, just see you later."

"I started out on the morning show as a video editor, camera operator and reporter. Now, I am saving goodbye to my co-anchor, partner and mentor. He taught me a lot in the last 10 years and helped me get to where I am today. His leadership and guidance will be missed," shared co-anchor Evie Allen.

Dave Davis will be stepping in as interim anchor for the time being.

Sources say that Hunsperger left for a marketing job.

And as always, there was cake.
