Newsblues.com reports that Richards, whose Fox 6 bio says he has anchored more than 20,000 evening newscasts in Birmingham, more than any other anchor, wanted more time off and couldn’t come to terms with management at the station.
“The station and I were unable to figure out a schedule that made sense for both of us,” Richards told newsblues. The website cited an internal memo in which News Director James Finch announced Richards' departure.
Richards has been at Fox 6 (previously an ABC affiliate) since 1981. He has been named best news anchor in Alabama nine times by the Associated Press.
Messages left this morning for Finch and Fox 6 General Manager Lou Kirchen have not been returned.
