Emmy-winning anchor Alisyn Camerota announced she was leaving CNN on what would be her final broadcast Sunday. Her exit after 10 years at the news network seemed to be a surprise.

“Before we go on this very busy news day, I just want to take a moment to share some personal news,” Camerota said as she signed off from “CNN Newsroom.” “This is my last day on air at CNN. I’ve had such incredible opportunities here these past 10-plus years. I’ve interviewed presidents and heroes and extraordinary people ― the kind of peak career experiences that I had dreamed of since I was a teenager. The journalists at CNN are the very best in the entire news business. And it’s been an honor to have been their colleague. It’s also an honor to have been in your homes this past decade through some of the biggest stories of our lifetimes.”

Camerota, 58, thanked her colleagues and received praise from Wolf Blitzer, who called her a “good friend” and “outstanding journalist.”

Camerota broke the news of her departure to followers on Instagram before the broadcast.

In addition to receiving Emmys for her coverage of the police killing of George Floyd and arrest of Roger Stone, Camerota won the Edward R. Murrow Award for reporting on Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

She is also known for writing off supporters of now-President-elect Donald Trump who “go off the deep end” after hosting numerous voting panels on “New Day.”

“I think at this point the smartest thing the rest of us could do is no longer give warped Trump supporters a platform and no longer lend them our ears. It’s time to turn off their microphones,” she wrote in an essay shortly after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.

Camerota previously worked for Fox News.

In September she announced that her husband, Tim Lewis, had died months earlier after battling pancreatic cancer.
