Why did Ted Koppy disappear from NBC?

Ted Koppy has been away from NBC Connecticut since March 2023, when he announced on his Facebook page that he was taking some time off to rest. He did not reveal the reason for his absence, but said he was looking forward to coming back soon

However, in November 2023, he posted another update on his Facebook page, revealing that his absence was due to a serious health condition that was discovered after a bike incident earlier that year. He said he was undergoing extensive tests and treatments, and thanked his viewers and colleagues for their support and patience

He did not provide more details about his condition or the bike incident, but he shared some photos of him mountain biking and lying on a hospital bed. He also said he was grateful to NBC Connecticut for allowing him to focus on his health

When will Ted Koppy return to NBC?

As of December 2023, there is no official confirmation on when Ted Koppy will return to NBC Connecticut. His co-anchor Heidi Voight has been hosting the morning news show with Mike Massaro, who has been filling in for Koppy during his absence

Voight has also been dealing with her own personal tragedy, as her mother was killed in a homicide in Vermont in February 2023. She took some time off to grieve and returned to work in April 2023. She has expressed her solidarity and sympathy for Koppy on social media, and asked the viewers to keep him in their prayers.

Ted Koppy did not leave NBC, but he is on a medical leave due to a serious health condition that was found after a bike accident. He is still undergoing tests and treatments, and his return date is unknown. He has thanked his viewers and colleagues for their support, and asked for privacy and respect. He is still a part of the NBC Connecticut family, and his co-anchor Heidi Voight and fill-in anchor Mike Massaro have been holding the fort in his absence. We wish him all the best and hope to see him back on the air soon.
