One of the biggest rules in Television News is don't quit your job until you have another job. 

KSTP's Mark Albert just broke that rule. 

After eight years with the station, Albert is saying goodbye when his contract is up next month.

"It's been a great run," said Albert about his time with the station. "And after eight years, I think it's time for a new challenge."

Although he doesn't currently have another job lined up, Albert, who is originally from California, says he's planning on staying in broadcast news.

His last day at KSTP is Aug. 21.
