"Hey guys, I hope you’ve missed me on tv and I want y’all to know I’ve missed you too.
In October I had a medical emergency which caused me to have a hypoxic brain injury. I am currently re-learning everything but one thing I haven’t forgotten is how much I love you guys.
I miss serving my community and I cant wait to see you all when I fully recover. I hope that you understand how much I love you, and how important being a journalist is to me.
I would like to say thank you to everyone who has prayed for me, and a very special thank you to the amazing medical staff and therapists who have taken great care of me.
Once I fully recover, I look forward to getting back to what I love, and it starts with loving you."
Finney joined Great Day SA in January of 2020 from Big 2 News KMID/FOX24 KPEJ Midland-Odessa.
In July 2022, Finney authored a children's book called "The Perfect Mix."
