Team,

It is my distinct privilege to officially announce Trishna Begam as our Main Anchor. Trishna has been with us since 2012 and worked her way up from weekend reporter all the way to the 11pm chair. Over the years Trishna has grown into a tremendous talent, tackling every challenge thrown her way, even winning an Emmy for her work on Trekkin in Ticonderoga.

She is a leader on the Digital Front and an exemplary teammate, we're very lucky to have her with us.

Please join me in congratulating Trishna!
