An era is over at WWL.

“You all have been a dominant morning show in this beautiful country, but you embraced New Orleans — and thanks, New Orleans, for embracing our sister back,” Robin Roberts said.

Roberts joined the station in 1977. Her final words to the viewers were ones of encouragement before signing off.

“I love you all. I’ll pray for you all. The best is yet to come. … The best is yet to come.”
