Spring has sprung another local TV reporter loose.
This time it's WFAA8's Bob Greene, who joined the station in June 2006 from New Orleans' WWL-TV, where he was part of the team reporting on Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.
Greene, who will be leaving in early June after resigning Monday, has decided to pursue a law degree instead of chasing stories.
"It's a decision that I feel will be best for me, my family and my future," Green said Monday in an email reply to unclebarky.com. "It's been nearly a year in the works. I am ultimately looking to do either entertainment/media law or family law. You just see so much in the news business and you want to do more than just tell their stories. You want to help them more."
WFAA8 executive news director Michael Valentine said in a statement, "We wish Bob the best as he moves to the next phase of his life."
Before his stint in New Orleans, he reported for KXAN-TV in Austin.
