Wilson says goodbye on Local 6

Roger Simmons, April 13, 2007

WKMG traffic reporter Secily Wilson signed off Friday morning, acknowledging her three years at the station and also former co-worker Jacquie Sosa, who was also recently dropped from the morning show while on maternity leave.

"Today is my last day after being here on the air with everyone here at the Local 6 family. I’m saying goodbye," Wilson said. "I just want to say to those of you who have embraced me over the three years and who have seen me out in the community and just told me what a wonderful job I’m doing, thank you. And for those of you who didn’t embrace me, thank you as well. We always need that in our lives, and I appreciate it. Now, I’m going to spend more time with my girls and go shopping with Jacquie Sosa."
