“And just like that..after 2.5 years I anchored my last early morning show,” the host wrote alongside the snap.
She continued: “I started in March of 2020 a week before pandemic lockdowns were put in place and I could’ve never imagined what would follow.
“Our amazing team came in every single day to cover the latest developments while also trying to navigate those unprecedented times ourselves.
“I’m grateful to have worked with such highly-skilled, compassionate and fun-loving people, including @dym_stagram, @kennethmoton & @willganss.”

Revealing the big news of where she was going next, Mona shared: “I am not leaving ABC, instead I will be reporting on our later shows starting with @goodmorningamerica.

Colleagues, friends, and fans all sent their congratulations and well-wishes to the ABC reporter.

One fan tweeted: “Will miss you in the mornings, all the best for the later shows!”
Another said: “Have watched you since Cleveland! Glad to see you will still be with ABC, many Congrats to you!”

The cast shake-up arrived just as GMA's Michael Strahan finally returned to the morning show after a lengthy absence.
Meanwhile, fellow anchor George Stephanopoulos is still missing from the program.
He's been out for over a week as he continues to be on vacation with his wife, Ali Wentworth.
She calmed fans' worries, as they were concerned about George's GMA absence, when she posted a picture of them in Greece.
The couple hugged in a warm embrace while standing outside next to a gorgeous pool.
The GMA host smiled and wore a teal dress shirt and khakis.
