Wow.  It only takes a five-year career to make it to WGN now. They might as well just start recruiting in Laredo or Eureka for that matter.

They're in an adjacent market and WITI was a sister station to them until 2020 (even discounting she came in a year later you don't exactly sever sister station relationships that quickly), so they probably have more than a glancing familiarity with her work.

I mean... WGN hired a then-newcomer morning meteorologist from Rockford almost eight years ago. She jumped from market #137 to market #3 and I think people criticized that because she wasn't market-ready to go from small market Rockford to big market Chicago.

 

Today, Morgan Kolkmeyer is one of the best home run decisions WGN made to hire for their morning news program within the past decade. I wouldn't have known her otherwise had she not gone to WGN.
