Diane Sawyer officially bid her job as an anchor on ABC's "World News" goodbye on Wednesday, August 27.

Sawyer, who has been on the show for five years, resigned on Wednesday night, according to People.

"I just want you to know what a deep privilege it has been to sit in the anchor chair these years... where Peter Jennings created a signature of such curiosity and courage," she said.

The 68-year-old also somehow revealed her upcoming plans following her resignation. On Wednesday, she assured viewers that she isn't "going too far," and is just headed "down the hall and up the stairs."

"I am not slowing down, but gearing up in a new way, already at work on some of the stories that take you into the real lives around us, the ones we rarely get to see," she said.

Sawyer's replacement, David Miur, will be taking her place starting September 2, the NY Daily News reported.

The former "World News" anchor handed her throne to Miur and said, "I cannot wait to see you in high gear, she told her upcoming replacement.

Meanwhile, an ABC News source dished on Sawyer's resignation and upcoming plans, USA Today's Entertain This noted.

"Like everything else, she's doing it on her own terms. She wants a little more time to herself. This summer is over and the next phase in her career has already started."

Sawyer's new gig will pay her much less than what she was used to getting as a "World News" anchor. The job, according to multiple sources, will include "overseeing a new investigative unit for ABC News," according to the NY Daily News.

Before the show ended, Sawyer thanked her fans and supporters and said, "Thanks guys, for every single night. So one last time, it is good to know you were watching tonight. I thank you and I'll see you right back her at ABC very soon."
