Nate Foy has brought the latest occurrences to the residents of South Florida for over five years. But now the news anchor is stepping back from NBC2. Other personalities at WBBH confirmed that Nate Foy is leaving the NBC affiliate in Fort Myers. That has naturally invited reactions from NBC2 viewers who counted Nate Foy’s broadcasts as a big part of their day. They want to know where he is going next and if he is leaving the city, too. While Foy didn’t make an official statement about his departure from NBC2, he did answer some of the questions from his social media followers.
Nate Foy Leaves NBC2
Boston native Nate Foy graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in broadcast journalism in 2014. By then, he had gained experience as a baseball commentator and an anchor for the campus TV station’s sports desk.
His early career was in Missouri, where he was the sports director at St. Joseph’s KQTV for less than a year. He moved back to Florida in 2016, and has been there ever since.
He started out as a sports anchor for the Waterman Broadcasting-owned WBBH. Since 2017, Foy has been the weekday news anchor at NBC2.
He’s done major coverage of important events, including the hurricanes Dorian and Irma and the ongoing pandemic. Over time, his broadcasts became a staple for NBC2 viewers.
It’s a sad day at @NBC2 – Nate’s last day!
You spend a lot of time with your co-anchor in this job, so it helps when you really enjoy working with them! But it also makes goodbyes more bittersweet.
Good luck on your next move, we’ll miss you! @foymeetsworld @RobDunsTV pic.twitter.com/ippUw90Pox
