Michelle Heron has rejoined WRCB Chattanooga as morning anchor, working alongside Paul Shahen and Alison Pryor. She steps in for Lori Mitchell, who is moving on to Nashville.

Heron joined WRCB, known as Local 3, in 2014 as a reporter. She then moved on to senior reporter and anchor on the weekend morning news. She departed local TV in 2021 to take on a communications and marketing role with Parkridge Health System.

Prior to joining WRCB, Heron anchored and reported at WYMT in Hazard, Kentucky, and WKAG in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. She also worked at WZTV Nashville.

Heron is on weekdays from 5 to 7 a.m.

“I’m glad to be back and cannot wait to get started,” said Heron. “I believe in the importance of local journalism now more than ever. I’m thrilled to play a bigger role at Local 3 and join the team in the mornings, where we know viewers are counting on us.”
