Cincinnati native Lauren Minor revealed Friday how and why she abruptly left WXIX-TV last month after five years in a Facebook post.

"On July 8th, I was informed by management that they no longer wanted to continue contract negotiations on a new deal. Additionally, I was informed that my services were no longer needed.

"I spent the rest of the summer enjoying time with my family at home," says Minor, a Northern Kentucky University graduate.

Minor made the comment on social media at midnight, immediately after her Fox 19 contract expired. She also announced that she'll soon start anchoring evening newscasts at WLEX-TV in Lexington, Ky.

Before coming to Channel 19's morning newscasts in 2019, Minor was an anchor-reporter at Lexington's WKYT-TV, according CBK Media Management, a broadcast talent agency that represents her.

Minor was fired by Channel 19 two months after she lost her morning anchor job in May when the station named Amber Jayanth and Now in the Nati host Julie O'Neill as main morning anchors.

Minor, Dan Wells and Andrea Finney were assigned new duties in May.
