A bright new face joined our morning news crew at WXXV last month. Chief Meteorologist Rob Knight and morning anchor Kristen Durand welcomed reporter Lindsay Goodwin to the anchor desk after the exit of Hank Davis. The team is finding its new footing with a bit more energy and fun in the mix.
“When I heard, I immediately called my mom and we had this great moment together about it. I’m so excited and thankful for this opportunity,” says Goodwin.
In addition to special segments such as ‘Mom to Mom,’ ‘Expert Talk,’ and ‘Mr. Food,’ the morning crew welcomes a wide range of community guests to the set, plus plenty of local and national headlines and three local weather breaks every half hour. There’s even a special Bus Stop Forecast for kids at the top of the 6 and 6:30 a.m. newscasts.
“It’s important to keep a light mood in the mornings. Waking up at an ungodly hour is amazingly difficult. Being able to laugh, especially at yourself, makes it so much better,” Knight said.
