So sorry to see her go! She was the best morning anchor on channel 11. I so much enjoyed watching the news in the morning, the others are actresses.

I will no longer watch Channel 11 News since Catherine Amenta will not be on there. She was the reason we were such big fans of the morning news on WPXI. Big mistake not renewing her contract.
