Insiders at Sinclair’s KATV (Little Rock) say that on Monday morning, April 11th, after the morning newscast on the ABC affiliate was over, longtime anchor Alyson Courtney was seen in the office of the fairly new News Director Amy Sullivan stating loudly “I quit!”.

Courtney went on social media to say that she quit to spend more time with her family. “My oldest daughter is a junior in high school now—and it’s important to me to be able to be there for all the special moments she has coming up before she heads off to college,” she wrote on Facebook.

While that might be the reason, newsroom insiders say there has been ongoing tension between Sullivan and Courtney for some time and that is what led about to her abrupt exit from the station.
