Morning Wood

It appears that a Dayton station will soon be sporting some morning wood.

The station announced that they hired Ohio native Lauren Wood as their new morning Anchor. 

Wood comes to 2 WDTN from Youngstown, where she’s been an anchor for WKBN 27 First News, a sister station of WDTN.

“We’re excited to have an Ohio native join our morning team,” said Joe Abouzeid, WDTN Vice President and General Manager. “We think the viewers of Dayton are going to love Lauren’s enthusiasm and energy.”

“It’s heartwarming to be moving back to my grandma’s hometown, and the place where my grandparents started their life together,” said Wood. “Everyone has a story, and it’s an honor when people trust us to tell those stories. I couldn’t be more excited to join the 2 NEWS Today team.”

Wood will be joined by John Seibel and Meteorologist Jamie Jarosik beginning Monday, September 25th to co-anchor 2 NEWS Today beginning at 4:30am and 2 NEWS Today on Dayton’s CW from 7 a.m. – 9 a.m.
