Berardelli: "The decision to leave was completely mine"

Jeff Berardelli told NewsByte2 today that it was his decision to leave WCBS for WFOR, despite rumors to the contrary:

The decision to leave was completely mine. I love NYC and this station. I am one of the lucky ones, to be able to live my dream! But now I am ready for the next challenge. I have a great opportunity to work at the best hurricane station in the nation, our sister CBS station WFOR. Lifestyle wise this will also be a great change. Fishing, boating, scuba, kayaking are all my passions and I will have the opportunity to live and work in paradise!

Berardelli appeared this morning but said yesterday on the air that this will be his last week.
