Karyn Greer, who officially left 11 Alive in March but was off air since January, has landed a freelance gig with CBS46. She began reporting, this morning confirmed news director Larry Perret.

Greer, in a text, said she is happy to get to work again although she is bummed she missed a bunch of big stories the past two weeks.

She departed the NBC affiliate after 15 years. I had heard that 11 Alive did not give her a good renewal offer.

"I am stepping out on faith but I know in the end God has my back. Keep me and my family in your prayers," she wrote on Facebook at the time.

Greer worked at WGNX-TV (now WGCL-TV and CBS46) from 1989 to 1999 as an anchor.
