NEW YORK (November 11, 2009)- CNN host Lou Dobbs said Wednesday he is leaving CNN effective immediately.

Dobbs, the longtime host of "Lou Dobbs Tonight" said on Wednesday’s show that the broadcast would be his last on CNN.

He said CNN had allowed him to be released from his contact, which would enable him "to pursue new opportunities."

He said he was considering a number of options.

The longest running anchor on CNN's air, Dobbs was one of the nation's leading financial journalists before turning his program in a more opinionated direction.

His persistent advocacy against illegal immigration angered many.

He was born in 1945 in Childress and went on to graduate from Harvard with a degree in economics.
