Did you know? The Karli's have left after nine years at WBOC.

(Jacqueline Karli WBOC FACEBOOK post excerpts)

It is with mixed feelings that Todd and I announce we are retiring from WBOC. After 40 years in broadcasting, it is time to turn the page.

We will be moving back to California where our daughter will be attending college and our son will be working. As for what we will be doing, that is part of the great unknown but we are open to whatever our next chapter brings.

Thank you Delmarva for sharing your beautiful peninsula with us. We will never forget you.
