Former CNN Headline News anchor Pratibha “Patti” Tripathi has joined WSBT-TV in South Bend, Indiana, as executive producer of the station’s HomeTown Living lifestyle program.

Tripathi has been running her own media company, TriPath Media for the past 17 years. She is also the founder and president of Saris to Suits, a women’s empowerment charity.

She replaces Lorena Rodriguez who launched HomeTown Living in 2020 and is returning home to Texas.

Tripathi was one of the first women of Indian origin to anchor a network newscast. Before working at CNN, she was with stations in Atlanta, Raleigh-Durham and South Bend.

Joining WSBT is a return home for Tripathi, who attended Edison Middle School, John Adams High School and the University of Notre Dame.
