Save The Date

by Abby Livingston

"World News" EP Jon Banner posted on the show's blog that anchor Charles Gibson has set the date for his retirement: 12/18.

Banner: "We've known this day was coming; Charlie first told us of his desire to retire in early September. ... So today I wanted to let you know that Charlie's last day as anchor of World News will be December 18. We're going to spend a good deal of time during his final week on the air looking back at the stories Charlie covered, hearing again from some of the remarkable people he interviewed, and paying tribute to our friend and colleague, and the enormous contribution he has made to ABC News over the last three decades."

"GMA" co-host Diane Sawyer is expected to take reins soon after he steps down. Gibson has been the anchor since 2006, succeeding the dual anchor team of Bob Woodruff, who suffered severe injuries while on assignment in Iraq, and Elizabeth Vargas, who stepped down due to a pregnancy. Gibson has been with ABC News for 34 years.
