Lando Lands Anchor Gig

Former Rochester Anchor Lisa Lando has landed a gig as the next Anchor at Scripps’s WKBW in Buffalo.

Lando, who recently has done freelance anchoring work for WKBW and at Nexstar’s WIVB before that, will replace Ashley Rowe as co-anchor with Jeff Russo on the 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. weekday newscasts starting June 13.

“We are thrilled to welcome a veteran journalist like Lia to our growing team,” said News Director Aaron Mason.

Lando’s Twitter profile refers to her as “Mom/News Anchor/Actress.”

She frequently posts pictures on social networks of her acting roles – as a TV reporter – in movies and TV series, most recently for the movie “Unit 234” shot in the Cayman Islands and the Apple TV+ series “Suspicion.”

According to the database IMBD that lists acting roles, she also has appeared in “FBI” and “FBI: Most Wanted.”
