After 24 years on the air at WFTV-Channel 9, anchor-reporter Barbara West’s final day at the station will be Dec. 29.
News director Bob Jordan said West and the station “had reached the decision mutually” on her departure.
She did not return a phone call seeking comment Tuesday.
“She’s an excellent communicator,” Jordan said.

“That’s a very tall bar. I’ve worked with a lot of anchors around the country. She’s one of the best.”
Added General Manager Shawn Bartelt: “I think Barbara has had a long and distinguished career at WFTV.”
West, 62, had been the anchor at 5:30 p.m.
for many years, until WFTV replaced her in September with Vanessa Welch.
Greg Warmoth will replace West on the noon telecast and share anchoring duties with Vanessa Echols.
West is WFTV’s health reporter, and she covered everything from diet drugs to the 10th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear accident in Ukraine.
