Summary
Friday marked Janice Dean’s final Fox News appearance, where the longtime meteorologist gave an emotional on-air farewell after 22 years with the network.
Dean said living with multiple sclerosis made the 2:30 a.m. wake-up routine increasingly hard on her body, and she decided to leave before the strain worsened her health.
Two teenage sons and family time also drove the decision, with Dean thanking her husband for handling the “lion’s share” of early mornings during her career.
Last month’s retirement announcement had already outlined her exit, but Dean returned for a final sign-off, saying the goodbye would help with the “grieving period” of leaving a job that had become a second family.
