New England Cable Network anchor Mike Nitikas — he anchored NECN Business and hosted “CEO Corner” and “This Week In Business” Sundays on NECN — is leaving his job, reports David L. Harris of the Boston Business Journal.
Harris writes, “In an email to colleagues and friends, Nikitas said that he is leaving ‘for a new adventure in my professional life that will include a business and college teaching.’
“Nikitas first anchored the station’s newscast in 1992, although he began his news career in radio in 1981 in the San Francisco Bay Area.
“‘I will miss the daily challenge of news,’ he wrote, ‘but I will miss even more the many on-air team members I have had the enormous pleasure to have worked with, and to be friends with — meteorologists, the sports team, reporters, analysts, guests, and especially co-anchors Leslie Gaydos, Karen Swensen, Latoyia Edwards and Joy Lim Nakrin. Thank you for being by my side in the best and worst of times, for the many laughs, and few tears.'”
