When a local news anchor who’s been in one market for a long time announces he/she is going to retire, it’s big news. That’s the case of Natalie Jacobsen who’s been with WCVB-TV for 35 years. Last night, she announced that she will leave next Wednesday to launch her own multimedia business. This is a person who goes back to when the station launched in 1972, co-anchored with the 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts with her ex-husband, Chet Curtis to form one of the most highly rated local stations in the country. Channel 5 in Boston led its 6 p.m. newscast with the announcement.
And here’s a slideshow of Nat from her days at WCVB. Her last day will be July 18 on the 6 p.m. newscast.
