CBS News anchor Liz Quirantes is saying goodbye to the network after 35 years of reporting out of South Florida. “It’s going to be hard to say goodbye to the viewers, to the staff, and to my life here. I’m going to miss this,” she said. Her last day reporting for CBS12 will be May 29, as she retires to join her children in Oklahoma. Quirantes, 60, began working for CBS News in West Palm Beach in 1991 as a temporary weekend reporter. She would remain at her second job out of college for decades. Quirantes now anchors the 5 p.m., 5:30 p.m., 6 p.m., and 11 p.m. newscasts for the station and has received numerous accolades for her reporting, including two Suncoast Regional Emmy Awards: one for her on-the-ground coverage in the Bahamas following Hurricane Dorian’s devastation in 2019, and another for her reporting on the 2018 Parkland school shooting. She hopes her viewers and colleagues will remember her as part of the community’s social fabric. “I want them to remember that I was a devoted mom, a devoted wife, a good Christian, and an excellent journalist,” she said in her final remarks to viewers.
