Here's a Switch

With all the people fleeing Tegna’s WUSA (DC), it appears they found someone willing to jump on the Titanic.

Here’s the internal memo sent to the staff.

Team,

Please join me in giving a warm welcome to our newest team member, Kelsey Stanger, who will be joining us as Executive Producer, dayside, starting January 13, 2025.

Kelsey comes to us from our TEGNA sister station, WXIA in Atlanta, Georgia, where she serves as the Executive Producer for the 11 p.m. newscast and leads the VERIFY team.

Kelsey is known for her strong editorial oversight, fostering newsroom collaboration, and implementing content strategies that elevate the quality and competitiveness of both on-air and digital broadcasts.

During her time in Atlanta, Kelsey led coverage of major news and weather events while maintaining her passion for show producing and motion-graphic creation in Adobe.

She also produced specials for WXIA, including Back-to-School and VERIFY: Women’s Health, delivered in both English and Spanish.

Kelsey is a graduate of the University of Iowa and has worked in South Bend, Indiana, and Norfolk, Virginia, where she was also part of the TEGNA family at WVEC.

Outside of work, Kelsey is an avid hiker, loves traveling and live music, and is excited to hear your recommendations for the best spots to explore in the DMV area.

Welcome Kelsey!
