In an online post, she wrote that “after much thought and prayer, I’ve decided to close this chapter of my life. I’ll be leaving WUSA9-TV and Washington, D.C.

McBride then worked at WNEP-TV a television station licensed to Scranton, Pennsylvania, serving as the ABC affiliate for Northeastern Pennsylvania, as a sports anchor and reporter from 2008 to 2015.
