<\/a> Curtis Miles<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cHe will be missed and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors,\u201d John Idler, president and general manager of ABC 7, said in a memo to staff Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Idler and Miles previously worked together at WTVD, the ABC-owned station in Raleigh, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

His position has not been filled.<\/p>\n

Here is the text of Idler\u2019s memo to staff:<\/strong><\/p>\n
