Atlanta Sports Anchor Leaves Broadcasting for Corporate

By Kevin Eck 

David Wilkinson says he left Atlanta NBC Affiliate WXIA earlier this month to take a job in the corporate world.

“Bittersweet announcement,” Wilkinson wrote on Facebook on Aug. 4. “I have elected to leave 11Alive and go into the corporate world. I will be working for a marketing agency and fittingly enough, will be part of their television department, so I’ll still get to do some of the elements from this job that I love. I love what I do but I needed something that allows me to see my family more and this does.”

Wilkinson’s last day was Aug. 6.
