You may have noticed that Sorboni Banerjee has been missing from the FOX 25 Morning News on WFXT-TV in Boston for a while.
Sorboni, and her husband Jarrod Holbrook, are expecting their first child due this November. Sorboni has been on leave recently taking every precaution necessary to ensure she and the baby stay healthy.
Sorboni tells New England One that "we waited to share the news because of a history of complications, but I want women to know they're not alone."
"I felt pretty isolated and scared in my experience with miscarraiges until I started talking about it and want other women to experience that same support, not even women really - couples - because it takes a toll on both" she said.
With this good news, Sorboni will be leaving FOX 25. "I'm moving to Florida to be with Jarrod and concentrate on my family and my health" she tells us. Jarrod left Boston to join WFTS-TV in Tampa, FL this past May.
She says that she will "miss Boston and our amazing viewers after a decade of reporting there."
FOX 25 issued a statement saying that Sorboni was no longer with the station, and that they "wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors."
Sorboni joined FOX 25 in 2012 as a morning anchor/reporter. Most recently, she was co-anchor of the FOX 25 News at 5 with Mark Ockerbloom and Maria Stephanos before being moved back to mornings to co-anchor the 4am-6am news with Daniel Miller.
Before coming to FOX 25, Sorboni was a morning anchor/reporter at WHDH-TV NBC 7 also in Boston. Prior to that she was the morning anchor at WLNE-TV ABC 6 in Providence, RI. She has also been an anchor/reporter at WHAG-TV NBC 25 in Hagerstown, MD.
A native of South Kingstown, RI, Sorboni is a 2002 graduate of Boston University where she studied broadcast journalism.
Sorboni will surely be missed in Boston, but we wish both her and her husband the best in this very exciting new chapter of their lives together.
You can send Sorboni well wishes on Twitter @sorbonified, as well as Jarrod @JarrodHolbrook.
