"And after fifteen years at etv, the time has now come for me to say goodbye. It has been an absolute pleasure and honour for me to bring you the news. Until we meet again, take care." Those were the words she used to sign off from today's edition of eNews Direct on etv.
During Smith's time at the channel, she anchored various time slots. In 2008 when the then eNews Channel launched, Robyn Smith was paired up with longtime anchor, Andrew Barnes, to anchor the channel's lunch time bulletin, News Day. At the start of 2011, she left News Day with Scheherazade Safla taking over from her.
Since then, Smith has been anchoring the news bulletins on the free-to-air etv which originated from Cape Town. These were the weekend and holiday edition of eNews Prime Time and the weekday editions on eNews Late Edition. However, since eNews late Edition was cancelled at the start of last year because the demand for another soap slot was greater than the demand for more news, Smith was seen primarily on weekends. She was also a deputy assignments editor at the news organisation.
Smith has said that she will soon reveal what is next for her. Stay tuned.
