As our pals at FishbowlNY reported this morning, WCVB anchor Steve Lacy has left Boston for New York’s WNYW. Lacy will start on August 15 as the 4:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. anchor.

Lacy’s departure from WCVB has been rumored for the past month. A Massachusetts native, he joined the Boston ABC affiliate in 2006 as a weekend anchor and general assignment reporter. Prior to WCVB, Lacy worked at several other New England stations, including WWLP in Springfield, MA and WVII in Bangor.

Lacy will co-anchor WNYW’s “Good Day Wake Up” with Heather Nauert. WNYW is the Fox O&O in New York City.
