Longtime NY Anchor Leaving the Business

After nearly two decades at Nexstar’s WTEN (Albany, NY) Anchor Anya Tucker has announced she is leaving the station.

Not only is she leaving WTEN, she’s leaving the TV news business altogether. “But before I go, I’d like to express how proud I am to have enjoyed a such long and exciting run,” Tucker said.

Tucker is taking a communications job with the state of New York. “Change is what I was seeking, and I feel the folks there are wonderful and I’ll be putting my skills to good use for the people of this great state,” she said.
