ABC's past late morning programs (and was also under the network's full editorial control), to air in Cleveland at its prescribed time. WEWS had continued to delay The View to late night until January 18, 1999, when it began to air in its proper 11 a.m. time slot, leaving MX with little natural flow between Live! and The View. Fred Griffith was demoted to a field reporter with morning meteorologist Mark Johnson taking his place as co-host, along with former WJW-TV news anchor Robin Swoboda. The resulting show departed significantly from the program viewers were used to, and ratings declined even further. After only several months, WEWS announced that it would end The Morning Exchange after 27 years. The final week's editions saw Griffith return as host and featured "MX Moments" from throughout the show's run. The last broadcast, which aired on September 10, 1999, included former co-hosts, reporters, and contributors, and live interviews with some of the hosts of morning shows that used the MX format, including Good Morning America. All of the other program's hosts praised MX for being the pioneer in establishing the format used by nearly all morning interview programs. Post Morning Exchange Robin Swoboda, became anchor at WEWS in 1999; she later served as a host on Cleveland Christian music station WFHM (95.5 FM) from 2002 to 2005, and then hosted a MX-style program on Fox affiliate WJW called The Robin Swoboda Show (originally titled That's Life) from 2007 to 2011. From 2012–2014, Swoboda served as co-anchor of WKYC's weeknight 7 p.m. newscast. Liz Claman, served as anchor of the program from 1991 to 1995, is now an anchor/correspondent for the Fox Business Network.
