Nexstar’s WIVB has found their new News Director and she is coming from Columbus.

Brianne Betts has spent the past 3 1/2 years as the Deuce at WCMH in Columbus. She now is headed to WIVB to sit in the big chair.

Betts is a native of Syracuse.

“My husband and I are thrilled to return to New York State and call Buffalo our new home,” Betts said. “And I am so excited to lead the talented team of journalists at WIVB and WNLO. I know they are just as passionate about journalism and local news and its vital importance to our community as I am.”

She starts her new gig later this month.
