The following excerpt was sent out from wbtw.com, the website of CBS affiliate WBTW-TV Ch. 13 in Florence, S.C.:

Trish Munn

Former anchor-reporter Trish Munn will be rejoining the News 13 team on Oct. 16 as one of our four main weekday anchors.

Munn will solo anchor News 13 Now at 9 a.m. and News 13 at Noon and will co-anchor News 13 First Edition at 4 p.m. with Patsy Kelly.

Munn previously worked at WBTW from 2004 and 2014 as a senior digital journalist, Pee Dee bureau chief and weekend anchor. Those who knew her then might know her as Patricia Burkett.

After leaving News13, Munn became a professional photographer and opened her own studio.

Munn also previously worked at Francis Marion University as director of public relations and as director of marketing for the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce.

WBTW News Director Paul Caron said Munn was one of the first to reach out to him about the open anchor position.

“Trish is excited to get back into the news side,” Caron said. “With her experience and community knowledge, she’s a great fit for our news team.”
