101 KXL has added Heather Roberts as co-anchor of Portland’s Morning News alongside Brett Reckamp.
Most recently, Roberts had been serving as a morning news anchor on a fill in basis before Veronica Carter departed the station for a similar position with iHeartMedia’s 600 KOGO in San Diego earlier this year.
“I’m thrilled to be part of such an amazing news team in my hometown,” Roberts said of the move. “It’s exciting to be back in a newsroom, doing live radio news again with an amazing team.”
In addition to her time at KOGO, Heather Roberts also has experience working for ABC News. She also owns and operates Oregon Radio News Network, which will add 101 KXL as an affiliate.
“Heather is a consummate professional, who has demonstrated her news chops across Oregon,” said 101 KXL News Director Grant McHill. “When we started the process of searching for our next anchor, we made it a priority to find someone who has a relentless sense for finding the stories that matter. So, we’re fired up to welcome Heather to the team.”
