Natalie Allen has spent 20 years at CNN.

Allen was based in Atlanta and hosted 'CNN Newsroom'. 

Allen announced that she is leaving CNN, this is what she said in her on-air goodbye:

“This is a special moment for me. It's sad but mainly happy. As I sign off this show right now, I'm also signing off from CNN.

“I worked twice for this incredible network for a total of 20 years, anchoring coverage of extraordinary events. This pandemic is just the latest, and what a story to leave on.

“Between my assignments here at CNN, I work at a different network as a climate correspondent and it made me realize that climate change is the story of our lifetime. So, I've made it my mission to cover the environment and climate solutions with a new venture I'll be starting.

“So, stay tuned for that, and stay with me via Instagram and Facebook and link in with me!”
