Maureen O’Boyle Is Leaving WBTV News In Charlotte
According to WBTV, Anchor Maureen O’Boyle is departing the TV station. O’Boyle has been with the station since 2004. She currently anchors WBTV News at 6 pm and WBTV News Primetime at 7 pm.
Mauren said, “WBTV gave me the chance to come home and fulfill a couple of dreams, working at the iconic CBS affiliate of my childhood and raising my child so close to family. “The greatest reward of this job wasn’t being in front of the camera. It was the opportunity this job gave me to champion non-profits I believe in, important organizations that change people’s lives and affect change for their futures. I count my work in the community as one of the most rewarding aspects of this job.”
O’Boyle’s career in television began while she was a freshman at Eastern Carolina University when she was hired by WITN, the NBC affiliate in Washington, NC. She worked at a few other stations before obtaining national fame anchoring the syndicated news magazines A Current Affair and Extra in the 90s.
She became a full-time mom in 1999 with the birth of her daughter, Keegan. After nearly five years away from television, she returned home to Charlotte, and to WBTV, in 2004. Maureen joined us in the Country 103.7 studio before and has been a good partner at many charity events. She is an amazing talent and a wonderful person. Enjoy what the future holds Maureen!
