Clock Runs Out on Godwin at ABC News

The a move that everyone saw coming has finally happened.

ABC News boss Kim Godwin is gone from the network. She leaves ABC after a turbulent three-year run, which saw her make many more cuts than hires.

Debra OConnell who was brought in by Disney to try and clean up the mess sent a memo to the staff saying that she will be running ABC for the time being.

In a note shared to the staff, Godwin wrote, “I understood and appreciated the profound significance of being the first Black woman to lead a national broadcast news network when I accepted the role as president of ABC News a little over three years ago,” Godwin wrote. “It’s both a privilege and a debt to those who chipped away before me to lead a team whose brand is synonymous with trust, integrity and a dogged determination to be the best in the business.”
