After more than 5 years working at WHDH in Boston, Reporter Jennifer Eagan is crossing the street to WCVB.

“Like so many at WCVB, Jennifer grew up, was educated, and established her distinguished career here in Massachusetts,” WCVB General Manager Bill Fine said. “Jennifer’s outstanding reporting skills coupled with her local knowledge of the region, our newsmakers, and the stories that are important to the community, make her an ideal addition to Channel 5’s exceptional news team.”

“I am thrilled to join the NewsCenter 5 team,” Eagan said. “I have always admired the range and quality of work produced by WCVB as well as their in-depth look at issues in our area. Having grown up in Wrentham, I greatly value Channel 5’s dedication to informing the people in my home state – WCVB sets the standard for news in Boston.”
