ORLANDO, Fla. – Next week, News 6 will bid farewell to long-time morning news anchor Crystal Moyer, who has served viewers in the Orlando and Jacksonville markets for over a decade.
Moyer, a native of Rockledge, joined the News 6 team in 2020 after proving her talents at sister station News4JAX, where she worked as a traffic anchor and multimedia journalist.
While at WJXT, Moyer enjoyed reporting Football Friday, where she would highlight a high school football matchup each week. Visiting the school and seeing the spirit of the students really brought her back to her days as a cheerleader.
In 2018, Moyer was the recipient of the Associated Press Broadcasters award for her coverage during Hurricane Irma. She and her photographer heard someone yelling for help during their live coverage and ran to rescue him and his girlfriend from their car, which was submerged in water from the flooding.
After coming aboard at News 6, Moyer started out as a journalist before becoming the Insider reporter. She eventually transitioned into her morning anchor role in 2022.
Following the news of her departure this summer, Moyer provided the following statement to News 6 viewers and teammates:
“From the early days of the pandemic to hurricane coverage and the countless stories in between, you’ve welcomed me into your homes and trusted me to bring you important information. And your support, kind messages, and friendly encounters throughout Central Florida have meant the world to this Rockledge native who lived up to her dream anchoring in her hometown. Thank you for trusting me, encouraging me, and allowing me to be a small part of your day, every day.”

Moyer has decided to move back to Jacksonville to spend more time with family, though she’s eager to explore this new chapter of her life.
“I’ve only known her in person a short time, but that’s all it took for me to see how much viewers and this newsroom value Crystal Moyer as a journalist, a friend, and a cheerleader for all the things that make Central Florida a tremendous place to live,” said News 6 Director Autumn Jones, who joined the team back in April. “Crystal will be sorely missed, and we’ll be watching closely to see what she accomplishes next.”
Moyer’s last day on the air at News 6 will be July 3.
