ATLANTA — Oct. 4th marks the birthday of longtime Channel 2 Anchor Jovita Moore, who we lost in 2021 due to aggressive form of brain cancer.

Most of you knew her as the sharp-witted, radiant face of Channel 2 and the calm voice that guided Atlanta through some of its biggest news stories.
But to her colleagues, Jovita was a true friend, our newsroom mom, the voice of reason and the heart of our WSB-TV family.
We are on a mission to make sure her legacy is never forgotten.
