KMBC Kansas City said it hired Brya Berry as weekday co-anchor for its 4 p.m. newscast. Berry will also co-anchor the 9 p.m. newscast on KCWE.
Berry most recently was an investigative reporter at KFOR Oklahoma City.
She is replacing Haley Harrison, who left to become the media relations director for Kansas City public relations firm Trozzolo.
"Brya's extensive experience as an anchor and reporter will help us continue to provide our viewers with the most up-to-date and accurate news in the Kansas City area,” KMBC news director Dan O’Donnell said. “We look forward to the energy and expertise that she will bring to our newscasts."
“We can’t wait to have someone with such an interest in community outreach joining our team,” KMBC-KCWE community partnerships director Kim Rupe added. “Brya’s involvement in public events and social engagement will help us to better serve residents in Kansas and Missouri.”
Before KFOR, Berry was an anchor and reporter at WRBL Columbus, Georgia. She began her career at WBRC Birmingham, Alabama.
"I'm thrilled to be joining the talented team at KMBC 9 News,” Berry said. “I look forward to bringing my passion for journalism to the Kansas City community and delivering the news that matters most to our viewers.” ■
