Another familiar face has disappeared from the airwaves at a Disney-owned California television station, as ABC30 lost its third on-air personality in just two months.

“Three years at ABC30 flew by faster than I could’ve imagined,” Olin wrote in a social media post announcing her departure.

“Thank you Central CA for letting me share your news, weather and sports stories!”

Olin joined ABC30 after working in Medford, Oregon, where she served as a weather forecaster, multimedia journalist covering news and sports, and digital producer.

She continued juggling multiple roles in Fresno, working as both a weather anchor and reporter during her three years at the station.

In June, Olin received an Emmy nomination for her role in ABC30’s coverage of the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.

It was one of two Emmy nominations she received during her time at the station.

Her departure marks the latest in a string of on-air exits at ABC30.

City Hall reporter Gabe Ferris left the station in mid-July to join sister station ABC7 in Chicago as a general assignment reporter.

Ferris began his career with ABC as an intern in the network’s Washington bureau in 2022, though he had set his sights on becoming a reporter years earlier, according to a previous profile.

Before that, longtime sports director and anchor Stephen Hicks signed off in June after eight years with ABC30.

Hicks relocated to Southern California to be with his new wife, fellow television journalist Hunter Sowards.

ABC30 has since promoted Sydney Berger to sports director, filling the vacancy left by Hicks as the station continues its on-air shake-up.
