Good People...

I'm pleased to announce the promotion of Emily Clark as permanent co-anchor of Good Morning Utah. Her new assignment now completes a month-long process of re-organizing our morning show's anchor desk. I have full confidence that the team of Glenn, Emily and Curtis will be a force in the market.

Emily reminded me she started here as an intern many moons ago, went away and had the guts to come back! She's been a vital contributor on our morning show since arriving back at ABC4 and now will help lead our morning team to greatness.

Congratulations Emily - we look forward to years of success with you on GMU!

George B Severson
