Yesterday, FTVLive told you that WZTV (Nashville) Morning Anchor Kelly Rippin had signed off from the Sinclair station, but was not yet saying where she was headed. 

Rippin told her social media followers that she would reveal her new job in the next couple of days.

If you're like me and you don't like waiting, we'll spoil the surprise and tell you that Rippin is headed to WESH in Orlando. 

Here is the internal email sent to the staff at WESH from News Director Kristen Wolff and obtained by FTVLive: 

Time to welcome a new reporter to our ranks!

Kelly Rippin ( no not Kelly Ripa!) will join us in a few weeks. Kelly grew up in western Pennsylvania not far from our own Meredith McDonough’s family.
She graduated from Penn State and to this day remains a rabid Nittany Lions,  Steelers and Penguins fan. 

Kelly landed her first tv gig in Clarksburg, West Virginia.  From there she went to Cincinnati and then moved to Nashville where she has been working as an anchor/reporter.

Kelly’s first day at WESH is January 2.
