Veteran WRTV-TV Channel 6 media personality Stacia Matthews said she is leaving the Indianapolis station after a 23-year run.

Matthews said in an e-mail that her last day at WRTV will be Nov. 30. She said she’ll start Dec. 3 as a public relations manager for the Indiana Spine Group.

Her new work schedule will allow her to pursue a master’s degree in public health, a longtime dream, Matthews said.

Matthews joined WRTV in 1989 as a general assignment reporter after working at TV stations in Lynchburg, Va., and Nashville, Tenn., according to WRTV's website.

Matthews’ announcement that she’s leaving the station follows last week's departure of news director Kevin Finch.

    ISG need a good PR Director. They triple book (as they informed me in 2006), and you wait for 2-3 hrs to at an appt you made 2-3 months prior. One we were forgotten about in an examination room. Dr. S_s_o is an arrogant little man who has a God given talent, but thinks he is God.And don't tell him his surgery didn't work, even if the MRI confirms it. He'll go after your home, your money, would probably take your first born if the courts wold let him. After my surgery @ ISG I was off worse physically, and 30K lighter in the bank acct (INS decided not to cover it), I really enjoyed you television work and reporting expertise. Good luck, Staci.

    Stacia Matthews leaves after 23 years. Grace Trahan leaves after 18 years. Dan Spehler and Ray Cortopassi now on Fox59...WRTV can't keep anyone, no stability. What's going on there?

    Very best wishes to Stacia as she embarks on a new career. She is an outstanding reporter and will be excellent in her new role for the Indiana Spine Group. Very sorry to see her leave RTV6, but wish her nothing but the best!

  1. Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.

  2. Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

  3. I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

  4. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

  5. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
