Amy Robach Toasts Move To ABC News: 5 Things To Know About Correspondent [PHOTO]

NBC national correspondent Amy Robach is leaving the peacock network for ABC News, where she'll be a New York-based correspondent, ABC announced Monday.

I am pleased to announce that Amy Robach is joining ABC News as a correspondent based in New York, ABC News President Ben Sherwood said in a note to ABC News staff Monday. Amy comes to us from NBC News where she has served as a national correspondent and weekend anchor for Today. She also spent several years anchoring morning news programming on MSNBC.

A tenacious and skilled reporter, Amy has covered a wide-range of stories from Hurricane Katrina to the death of Ronald Reagan. In 2009, she scored a major scoop with the first interview with Rod Blagojevich after his arrest, Sherwood continued. A first-rate storyteller and broadcaster, Amy will go to any heights for her work, including riding along in a Navy F-18 Super Hornet over the Atlantic. As the mother of two daughters and three step sons, she will tell you that her family is one step away from becoming a modern day Brady Bunch. In her new role, Amy will contribute her engaging and high-impact journalism to all of our broadcasts and platforms.
