After more than 15 years of delivering the news to residents across the tri-state area, anchor Tamsen Fadal signed off from PIX11 on Friday.
Fadal has won 13 Emmys over the 30 years she’s spent as a news anchor and reporter. She worked at news stations around the country before coming to New York City.
“The excellence Tamsen has shown as an anchor in this community has been invaluable to us as a station. But even more important, Tamsen has served as a role model for countless young journalists and been a force for many of our viewers,” said PIX11 News Director Nicole Tindiglia.
On her website, Fadal describes herself as “a pioneering voice for menopause advocacy, an Emmy Award winning TV journalist and podcast host.”
“Tamsen has spent the last 30 years reporting on stories of hope and resiliency. Today, she uses her platform to share stories about menopause, career shifts and relationships at midlife,” the site reads.
On Instagram, Fadal posted on Friday, “I obviously had to wear pink on my last day. It’s so important to dress for confidence whether it be your last day at work or any other day!”
A series of comments were posted to wish the long-time anchor well.
“This has been the day I never wanted to think about… I’m heartbroken at the thought of not having you LIVE in my living room to come home to everyday after work,” wrote one Instagram user. “However, I’m excited & anxious to see where your next journey will take you… I KNOW that whatever you do, you will be a great success. Love you for all that you’ve given me (& the rest of NY) for well over a decade. Missing you already…. Please stay connected!!! xo from Long Island!”
