“I’m elated, and ready to continue working hard for you, and our neighbors in this new role. During weekday newscasts, I will continue working in my role as consumer reporter—including data-driven stories to ‘stretch your dollar,’ profiling consumer concerns and getting answers. See you next weekend at 6 and 9 pm on WDVM, and 10pm on DCW50. Let’s get to the news.”
