CBS Anchor Reveals Shocking Exit, Says Emotional Goodbye To Viewers
Late August and September are busy months for sports reporters. The MLB season slows down as teams head into the World Series. Meanwhile, NFL players are back on the field, preparing for the start of a new season. But CBS Sports is down one reporter just when they need all the staff they can get.
Katie Mox has been an anchor and host at CBS Sports HQ since 2022. But viewers won’t see her after Friday, August 21, 2026. She announced her sudden departure earlier this week. Katie Mox shared a goodbye post on social media with a “Thank You” banner behind her. The post included clips of highlights from her time on CBS Sports.
“Thank you to everyone at @cbssports for making these last four years so special. I’m incredibly grateful for the experiences, the opportunities, the laughs, and most of all, the people,” Katie Mox wrote in the emotional goodbye post.
Fans Wish Her Well On Next Adventure
Katie Mox is done at CBS Sports after just four years. She teased that she already has a new gig lined up. “More to come on what’s next. But for now, just thank you,” she told fans. The unexpected news of her departure came just one week after Lindsay Czarniak became part of the CBS Sports HQ family. Her husband, Today Show anchor Craig Melvin, shared the surprising news.
However, it’s not clear whether Katie Mox’s exit is related to the network’s new hire. She didn’t reveal if she was fired or why she’s moving on from CBS Sports. But what we do know is that viewers will miss her. They flooded the comments with well-wishes and suggestions for her next move.
