She penned: “Baltimore, I showed up here in January 2023 and you all welcomed me in with open arms.

Continuing, Megan explained how her life has ‘revolved around her career’ for the last 14 years.
She made the decision to step away from news after ‘long talks’ with her family – who she doesn’t see ‘as often as she wants.’
Megan added: “The other component is realizing that this entire 14 years, I have been holding my breath, nervous about the weight of representing so much more than just me.
“When my mother passed away unexpectedly at 67 years old, it put things into perspective and I’m no longer waiting to exhale.
“I think the song is true, ‘When you have friends, who wish you well, you find your point when, when you will exhale’.”
Megan went on to thank the community of Baltimore, saying she is ‘not going anywhere’ – but won’t be fronting the news anymore.
She concluded: “I’m on air until late September, so we have plenty more, ‘Good morning, the time now is 4:26, thanks for waking up with us on WBAL TV 11News!’”
One person commented: “Excited things are heading your way, I’m sure of it!”
Another wrote: “I’m excited to see what’s coming next!”
A third penned: “Go get’’em Megan!!!”
