Ashley Zilka, a reporter at ABC station WTAE-TV Ch. 4 in Pittsburgh, wrote on X/Twitter:
“As a journalist, I have spent the past 14 years working at different stations across the country. From Cincinnati to Minneapolis, every city will hold a special place in my heart, but ending my news career in my hometown, specifically at WTAE, has been the biggest blessing.”
Zilka’s departure follows her decision to join her family business, Zilka and Co. The fourth-generation bakery supply company was founded by her great-grandfather in 1923.
Previously, she reported for ABC outlet KSTP-TV Ch. 5 in Saint Paul and WCPO-TV Ch. 9, an ABC affiliate in Cincinnati. She also served as a news anchor and reporter at WROC-TV Ch. 8, a CBS affiliate in Rochester, and a morning news anchor at WHIZ-TV Ch. 18, an NBC-, Fox- and MyNetworkTV-affiliate in Zanesville, Ohio.
Zilka has a B.A. in broadcast journalism from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.
