Just read in the Herald that tonight (7/15) is Sara’s last night at Fox 25. She is leaving to spend time with family and await her new baby. Sara will be missed!
Indeed, she just tweeted the following: “Goodbye Fox friends! Today is last day. Trading in anchor desk for full time mommy job. Spending QT with Emma before baby #2 arrives.”
No more Shannon & Sara on Sunday nights. My weekends are officially ruined.
According to the Herald, Shannon Mullaire has been promoted to weekend anchor.
One of the funnier highlights during Sara’s time at Fox 25: when she accidentally let the term “brain fart” slip while on the air.
Best of luck to Sara. I hope she enjoys the extra time with her family.
So not a fan of Shannon Mullaire. I think she is absolutely horrendous and now she’s been promoted. Yeesh! Fox 25 is testing my loyalty
Sara Underwood was on Fox 25 news last night. A change of heart???
She fills in from time to time when Fox25 is short-staffed. It’s probably easier and less expensive for management to have a fill-in anchor available than having to finance a reporter to perform extra duties on the anchor desk.
Thanks, I hadn’t seen her before….
