WXVT Anchor Marvin Parker Jr. took time out of giving the newscast to say that he is working his last week at the station.

Parker told viewers that he is moving on after two years at the Mississippi station.

He also gave his goodbye just as the newscast was starting. It was a long goodbye for a guy that will be back on TV this week and anchoring again next weekend.

Usually, people wait until it is their last newscast before they say goodbye.

I’m guessing Parker is just trying to get the hell out of Mississippi as quickly as he can.
