Julie O'Neill's comeback on WXIX has ended in eight months, says television reporter John Kiesewetter.

The former WCPO anchor, who returned to Cincinnati airwaves in January hosting Channel 19's NOW in the Nati lifestyle show before being moved to anchoring Fox 19 NOW morning news in May, has left the station.

"Julie O'Neill is no longer with WXIX Fox 19. We wish her the best," said a staff memo from Jennifer Rieffer, WXIX-TV vice president and general manager. Rieffer declined to elaborate or comment Thursday.

She is the second Channel 19 morning news personality to leave the station in the past month. Lauren Minor abruptly left the station the week of July 11 after five years.

Some viewers were upset that the new anchor team displaced morning anchors Minor, Dan Wells and Andrea Finney.
