WBAL (Baltimore) announced that longtime Anchor Stan Stovall is going to retire.

No, he is not stepping down today, or at the end of the month, or even at the end of the year.

The station said that Stovall plans on retiring at some point in 2022.

Huh?

So your Anchor could be around for another year and a half and you are announcing his retirement this week?

This might be some kind of record.

The station writes, “Plans to celebrate Stovall's career at WBAL-TV 11 and his decades-long impact on the Baltimore market will be revealed in the months to come.”

FTVLive would also like to announce that we are retiring!

We don’t know when that will be and is likely years away. But, we have some FOMO after reading this from WBAL and decided to join in on the announcement.
