KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - In just a few days, our beloved longtime anchor Carolyn Long will step away from the desk after nearly 30 years at KCTV5.

Carolyn has been one of Kansas City’s most recognizable faces in local news. But she is also a regular presence at local charitable fundraisers. Over the years, Carolyn Long has worn extra makeup to host Wayside Waifs’ Fur Ball, traded in her dress for a heavy jacket for Polar Plunges, and helped runners warm up for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

If you would like to congratulate Carolyn on her retirement from local television, you can send a note or a video of congratulations here.

Carolyn’s last day at KCTV5 will be Friday, May 30.
