FOX CT morning news anchor Logan Byrnes is no longer with the station, citing contract renewal differences as the reason.
“As much as I would have loved to have continued to deliver the morning news, and as happy as I was with my current contract terms, unfortunately renewal negotiations were unsuccessful,” he wrote in a prepared statement . “I take great pride in having helped launch the FoxCT Morning News seven years ago when it began as a two-hour weekday newscast from 6 to 8 a.m.”
“The viewership and continued growth in the ratings of the morning show gave me great joy and satisfaction knowing I made a positive impact in many people’s lives as they invited us into their homes each morning,” he wrote in his statement. “Because of the outpouring of support from viewers around the state and the increased ratings, the show expanded to four hours and then to six hours from 4 to 10 a.m.”
“I want to thank my fellow anchors, reporters, employees and loyal viewers for making my experience at FoxCT enjoyable and memorable,” Byrnes said.
Byrnes joined FOX CT in 2008, after working as a correspondent for “Inside Edition.” Byrnes had also contributed as an anchor on NBC’s “Early Today” and MSNBC’s “First Look” as well as providing various reports for CNBC’s “High Net Worth.” He also was a former anchor at NBC Connecticut.
FOX CT has not issued a statement confirming his departure, but his bio has been wiped from foxct.com.
