Shannon Cake will anchor her final broadcast for West Palm Beach, Florida NBC affiliate WPTV on Friday.
Cake joined the station in 1996 after starting her career in radio news working for an NPR affiliated station. She moved into television news when she was hired at WMBB-TV in Panama City.
Over her remarkable 29-year tenure at WPTV, Shannon has been a staunch advocate for viewers, championing causes that matter. Her investigative reporting on unsanitary nail salons opened our eyes and made all of us think twice before getting a manicure.
Shannon’s courage in journalism has earned her an impressive array of accolades—including a staggering 26 Emmy Awards—testament to her dedication to the craft.
