Final show "thank you's" from Eric

Posted: 01:36 PM ET

This weekend is our final show on HLN. It's been a good run and as they say, "All good things must come to an end."

If you'll allow me just a brief moment of your time, I'd like to say thanks to some of the people who made "News To Me" possible:

You, the viewers. It was your show all along, so I hope you liked it.

The locations. We shot in just about every neighborhood in Atlanta. Thanks for the food, drink and fun stories.

The crew. Simply the best shooters, audio techs & PA’s in the business.

The HLN staff and executives. Thanks for everything. You allowed us to have fun and make good TV.

Interns. Hope you learned something and I need to be nice to you in case you are my boss in the future. Good luck.

Mike, Grayson, Aaron, Charles… great friends. Good luck, kick butt.

Teague. "Allright DH!" Great work, thanks for making me always look and sound good.

JB. Thanks for the chance.

-Eric

Eric, I'm sorry to hear you and your crew will not be bringing "News to Me" to your awaiting audience after this weekend. Yours was the last show I actually watched on CNN and after this weekend, I'm calling it quits. You and your crew did a superb job with News to Me, a show I will truly miss having the honor of watching. Real news, the way the "little people" see it. The way life really is. Please thank your crew for me and good luck to you and they in your careers. We'll be seeing you again! Have faith!!

Wow man, I'm shocked! This was my favorite show on CNN... actually, the last one that I still watched. I don't know what the heck they're thinking over there, but they've lost me as a viewer. Good luck, Eric.
