David Muir and Deborah Roberts bid an emotional farewell on Friday when they revealed a big change to their 20/20 show.

She shared a lengthy post explaining the team was moving on.
“Friday finish,” she began. “Nearly 3 decades after I first set foot in the ABC news headquarters as a new correspondent, the youngest to join the 20/20 team, we are officially saying goodbye to the building.”
She continued: “The place where network TV legends walked the halls and delivered the news. I was thrilled and a bit nervous to join Barbara, Hugh, Peter, Carole, Joan, Charlie and a cadre of inimitable correspondents. What a moment.”

Deborah became emotional
Deborah elaborated when she wrote: “Now, a bright, shiny space awaits us downtown to continue the great work we all love so passionately. Change and goodbyes are always hard for me. I am comforted by routine and the familiar. But change is the only true certainty of life, right? So here we go… making new memories @abcnews.”
