Morris Jones said goodbye to Washington, D.C. ABC affiliate WJLA and NewsChannel 8 on Tuesday.
The Washingtonian reports Jones says he declined the Sinclair-owned station’s offer of a contract extension and that he’s not retiring.
“I still think I’m still too young to retire,” Jones told the Washingtonian. “There are several things I want to do and even if I stay in media it’ll be new media–the days of appointment TV are just not there anymore.”
