Shuffling Off from Buffalo

WKBW Anchor/Reporter Kendra Eaglin has kissed the station goodbye and is headed to the left coast.

A native of Oakland, Calif., Eaglin confirmed she is headed back to California.  

“It was a good run here,” Eaglin told the Buffalo News. “When my contract ended, I decided to go back home to be with my family. I’ve been gone seven years. It’s time.”

In a separate tweet, Eaglin added that she was “’close to moving forward with a broadcast job closer to home.”

Eaglin worked at a station in Montana and a cable station in San Francisco before joining WKBW about five years ago.

She had been the evening anchor on Saturday and Sunday newscasts until the station decided last fall to team Ed Drantch and Katie Morse on Sundays, leaving Eaglin only the Saturday evening anchor.
