Martin confirmed it was his choice to leave the Nexstar station, but added he couldn't immediately say what is next for him in the broadcasting business other than he has some "very promising opportunities."
"I love Buffalo," said Martin. "It treated me much better than I probably deserved. There are a couple of opportunities that are the logical next step for me."
There are a number of sports gigs open in the Buffalo market. WKBW recently announced that Nick Filipowski is leaving this month after three years at the station.
