After nearly two decades at the station, KNSD Morning anchor Greg Bledsoe signed off from the station this week.

“I’m stepping away from news for a little family adventure, but I’m really going to miss this place and the people who work here,” Bledsoe said. “NBC 7 has become like a family to me.”

Bledsoe started his career with NBC 7 as a writer. Over the past 19 years, he’s gotten to do many jobs at the station, from running the teleprompter to producing newscasts and finally made it to anchor.

“I planned on staying here for nine months after college to try out the beach. It has been almost two decades since then,” he said. “I am so grateful to San Diego for the past 19 years, and for having the opportunity to meet so many incredible people and tell their stories.”

The station did not take long to find his replacement. The NBC O&O announced that Steven Luke is taking over for Bledsoe.
