Anchor Change in the A-T-L
There is a change in the morning newscast on top-rated WSB in Atlanta.
Lori Wilson is taking over for longtime Anchor Linda Stouffer.
Stouffer will do day-side reporting for the late afternoon and evening newscasts.
“I’ve always thought the morning shift was the best in the business,” Wilson wrote on her Facebook feed Monday. “Sure the alarm goes off early, but in what other job do you get to wake people up and prepare them for the day? I am thrilled to get the chance to do that now Monday through Friday.”
Suzanne Nadell, news director, in a press release, said Wilson “has demonstrated the ability to tell high-caliber stories that are important to our local communities.”
Stouffer says that she is happy with the move. She says she wanted more sleep and “a schedule that lines up better with the people I love... I’m super excited and crazy grateful WSB is making this happen.”
On a side note, Lori Wilson is part of one of the most-watched videos on FTVLive’s YouTube channel.
The video has over 3.5 million views.
