In 2014, Steven Fabian left the show to work for the syndicated newsmagazine Inside Edition and on July 27, 2015, Beth Troutman left the show as well to go work for WCNC-TV in Charlotte, NC to anchor for their weeknight 6 and 11pm newscasts, which leaves Nick, Gayle and Christian as the only original presenters, left on the program.
