Watch : Lester Holt Signs Off From  NBC Nightly News' With Special Message

Christiane Amanpour is signing off.

More than four decades after the Chief International Anchor joined CNN, she confirmed that she will step away from the network in June.

 After many months of thought and a few sleepless nights, I have decided to separate from CNN, my partner of 43 fantastic years,  Amanpour said in an Oct. 19 statement. She added that she  looks forward to interesting new projects down the line, and will always be rooting for CNN and maintaining its history of independent journalism. 

The 68-year-old, who has hosted her eponymous show on CNN International since 2009, thanked everyone she worked with, especially her  beloved show teams and field crews. 

 It's the teams and the camaraderie that counted so much as we together battled to seek the facts,  she shared,  the evidence and the humanity, so that CNN could always broadcast the truth about the world and to the world, without fear nor favor.
