Tracy Jacim's two-year stint as news anchor at KPTM (Cox Channel 10) came to a close Friday night."I'm really choked up, which, as you know, I'm never really this speechless," Jacim said after watching a video tribute to her near the conclusion of the 9 p.m. newscast.
Jacim thanked crew members working behind the scenes for their hard work, as well as her fellow on-air colleagues.
"We couldn't do it without all of you," she said.
In early February, Jacim announced she was leaving the station. Her replacement will be weekend anchor Amanda Mueller, who starts co-anchoring with Taylor Wilson on Monday.
In her final comments before saying goodbye, Jacim said Taylor "upped her game" as her co-anchor.
"You've become my other half here on the desk," she said. "When you sit next to someone this long every single night, you really do build a relationship and rapport that's irreplaceable."
