Miranda Combs, a longtime TV investigative journalist, is now anchoring the evening local news on ABC 36 WTVQ TV [in Lexington] along with Paxton Boyd. Combs, who will remain the station’s news director, will anchor the 5 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. weekday newscasts with Boyd. Her first night was July 17.
“News directing is stressful in the morning but about mid-afternoon everything gets calmer,” Combs said. “I told my general manager, ‘I think I can pull this off.’” After a day of both jobs, Combs said Tuesday “This morning I feel like I’ve run a marathon, but I’m hoping I will get into a routine, where I can change gears in the afternoon and focus on getting ready for the shows.”
Combs spent more than 20 years at WKYT, Lexington’s CBS news station, before leaving in 2019 to work as press secretary for Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams. In the summer of 2021, she was named assistant news director at FOX 56 and moved to WTVQ as news director in the spring of 2022.
