Speaking of Ginger, she also spent a few years in the late 2000's at WMAQ, NBC 5 in Chicago doing the weather on weekends before jumping to GMA.

Also, Robin Meade was also on NBC5 in the late 1990's, primarily working as a weekend morning anchor--many years before joining HLN.

Finally, Jane Pauley worked at was then called NewsCenter 5 in the middle 1970's before joining the Today show--and we all know what happened after that.

My area had Shyann Malone and Madison Alworth on 10 News before going HLN and FBN. Isabel Morales was on ABC Action News before CNN. I count Annie Sabo from News Channel 8 since she did a season for the Big Ten Network. Also, Laura Rutledge and Erin Andrews were on Fox Sports Florida/Sun Sports (now Bally Sports).

Fairbanks, Alaska’s only claim to national fame was Libby Casey; she started out on KUAC public radio before heading straight to Washington (C-SPAN, the short-lived Al-Jazeera America, and now The Washington Post).
