KATU: Melanie Wingo

Submitted by Myhousemf on Wed, 05/23/2007 - 11:57am.

It looks like KATU has a new morning reporter, Melanie Wingo. (Click on Video) Looks like she was previously an anchor at KDRV. I don't know when she started. She isn't on KATU.com yet.

Welcome to Portland, Melanie!

I noticed her name printed

I noticed her name printed on a website as "Melanie Wingo Jensen" so I thought they chose to use "Wingo" so there would be no confusion, whether or not they were related.

So is Thom in Portland too?

I seem to remember the both of them left Medford for San Diego. Is he still down there or in Portland looking for a gig?

The proof is in the mold!

The promos should be the proof. Both Thom and Melanie are at KATU (husband and wife). Thom is part of the investigative group, and Melanie is freelancing for the morning show until a permanent replacement for Colleen Nelson can be found.

Melanie and Thom both worked

Melanie and Thom both worked in Medford. Thom has been there since October. Why did Colleen Nelson quit? I hope they can find an INTELLIGENT replacement. Beware dumb people with nice smiles from the lesser states (AZ for example) wanting work in P-town.

Melanie is a welcome edition

Melanie is a welcome edition to Portland. She did a great job down in Medford as did Thom for that matter. I am happy to see them back in Oregon after they left to San Diego.
