There\u2019s a part of me that could stay at WHIO because I enjoy the work so much,\u201d McHenry said. \u201cI love my coworkers, and I feel a responsibility to our viewers. However, I realize time is our most precious commodity and I\u2019d like to use more of my time to do other things. I look forward to spending more time with family and friends, reading a zillion books, and spending more time in nature\u2014walking and hiking.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whio.com\/news\/local\/stay-informed-schools-delayed-due-slippery-roads-this-morning\/VYM6HW4W55HSNLR6IBASNUUOHI\/\" target=\"_blank\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The station said she has reported on every important Miami Valley story to happen in the last four decades. Two of McHenry\u2019s personal highlights were traveling from Wright Patterson Airforce Base with the 445th Airlift Wing on a 12,000-mile mission to Afghanistan, and to Los Angeles to report on the Cincinnati Bengals 2022 Super Bowl appearance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCheryl is part of the fabric of WHIO-TV and the Miami Valley,\u201d said <strong>Joe Cowan<\/strong>, WHIO news director. \u201cHer generous spirit is reflected daily in our newsroom and in the community she serves. It is a privilege to call her a colleague. We look forward to celebrating her decades of dedication to WHIO-TV and our community as she prepares for her well-earned retirement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The station has named <strong>Gabrielle Enright<\/strong> as McHenry\u2019s successor. Enright has been with WHIO since 1997.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very comforting to leave our viewers in the best of hands. My colleagues are so capable and caring, and they work hard every day to cover the news and issues that affect the people of our community,\u201d McHenry said. \u201cGabby is not only a hard worker, she\u2019s smart, energetic, and so kind. She does not consider any kind of work beneath her. She always gamely pitches in to help in any way she can to give our viewers the very best content. She often stops to shoot video because it\u2019s on her way to work. She has more than earned her anchor spot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Enright will join co-anchor <strong>James Brown<\/strong> for News Center 7\u2032s 90-minute newscast on weekdays beginning at 5 and again at 11 pm, where she has co-anchored since 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so fortunate to have the level of talented journalists that we have here at WHIO,\u201d said <strong>Darren Moore<\/strong>, VP and general manager of WHIO-TV and WHIO Radio. \u201cCheryl McHenry helped lay the journalistic foundation upon which News Center 7 was built.
