The local news anchor’s page on KTLA now forwards to a page of the news team where Mester is no longer listed either.

Last week, Sam Rubin went on-air to read a statement from KTLA announcing that long-time news anchor Lynette Romero had left the station.

“After nearly 24 years, Lynette Romero, our friend Lynette, has decided to move on from anchoring our weekend morning news,” Rubin read.

Romero was not able to say goodbye to the viewers and there was no farewell video package in her honor, which drew the ire of many loyalists.

“What the viewers experienced was rude, it was cruel, it was inappropriate, and we are so sorry,” Mester said.

I also want to say sorry to Lynette Romero because, Lynette, I love you so much. You really are my best friend.
