KHBS/KHOG TV also announces that Leslee Wright, 5 and 6 p.m. co-anchor at 40/29 News, is stepping down at the ABC affiliate to focus on starting a family. “Leslee has made significant contributions to our news operation,” said Courington. “We wish her all the best.”
“I’m looking forward to focusing my attention on starting a family,” Wright said. “The past ten years have been a tremendous experience and this was a tough, bittersweet decision. I hope to continue working on special projects for the station.”
“We wish Leslee well. I know this was a difficult decision for her to leave a profession she loves so much. We certainly understand and respect her decision,” said Jim Prestwood, KHBS/KHOG TV’s President and General Manager.

Good Luck Leslee on finally starting a family...enjoy your cheetos and Dr. Pepper.
Welcome back Donna, thank you for putting your family first six years ago. The kids were young and needed you. They still need you,but are a bit older and wiser, thank to your guidance and love for them.
Can you pick up 40/29 on cable or satellite in Oxford, MS?
Othello (3:3), where Iago says: "O! beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on."
kudos to the moderator for removing the inappropriate posts.
I agree!
I know DCG is busy, but I'm thrilled to see that he had time to actually moderate and kick out the immaturity.
Maybe this will leave her more time for her "charity work".
Congratulation to Donna on coming back to anchor.
Now if the "powers that be" would dump that sleaze of a news director.
Wish Ms. Wright well on starting a family, although that is NOT the reason she left.
Can anyone get rid of Cannon(talk about boring.)
We're happy to see more of Donna, and no, the man is not a sleaze.
Leslee will be missed, but having Donna around more will make the transition much easier.
And Cannon rules!
Donna marry me! She is still pretty good eye candy.
Hey Houston, You shouldn't text on this blog, everyone and their brother can read it. I would keep texting Donna privately.
