A familiar face in Boston TV news is heading to a rival station.

WHDH’s Sharman Sacchetti is crossed the street to WCVB to become the station’s political reporter.

WCVB president and general manager Bill Fine praised Sacchetti’s “extensive knowledge of the local political landscape.” “Sharman is an excellent journalist who has covered some of the biggest political stories on both the local and national stage,” Fine said. “Her expertise, long-established relationships, and extensive knowledge of the local political landscape make her an ideal fit for our outstanding NewsCenter 5 team.”

“I am excited to join WCVB Channel 5, Boston’s news leader, a station well-known for its award-winning political coverage,” Sacchetti said in the release. “It’s an honor to join the station that I grew up watching with my family every day.”

She joined WHDH in 2017, coming from Boston’s WFXT. If she goes to WBZ next, she will have successfully batted around the order.
